Croup (/ k r uː p / KROOP), also known as croupy cough, is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus. [2] The infection leads to swelling inside the trachea, which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of "barking/brassy" cough, inspiratory stridor and a hoarse voice. [2]
Unstable fractures are further divided into anterior posterior compression, lateral compression, vertical shear, and combined mechanism fractures. [2] [1] Diagnosis is suspected based on symptoms and examination with confirmation by X-rays or CT scan. [1] If a person is fully awake and has no pain of the pelvis medical imaging is not needed. [2]
A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...
An occult fracture is a fracture that is not readily visible, generally in regard to projectional radiography ("X-ray"). Radiographically, occult and subtle fractures are a diagnostic challenge. Radiographically, occult and subtle fractures are a diagnostic challenge.
In some, the x-ray findings may correspond to symptoms of back stiffness with flexion/extension or with mild back pain. [2] Back pain or stiffness may be worse in the morning. [ 4 ] Rarely, large anterior cervical spine osteophytes may affect the esophagus or the larynx and cause pain , difficulty swallowing [ 5 ] [ 6 ] or even dyspnea . [ 7 ]

[6] [2] This movement may occur when changing direction while the heel is off the ground such in dancing, tennis, or basketball. [9] [10] Diagnosis is generally suspected based on symptoms and confirmed with X-rays. [3]
