Introduction Bone diseases can weaken your bones, causing them to break and deform. Bone is a living, growing tissue composed primarily of collagen and calcium. The skeleton is a rigid framework of bones that protect soft organs and support the body. The human body contains two types of bone. Cortical bones are the outer layer…

Unlike the more commonly recognized lower back pain, upper back pain is less frequent but can significantly impact one’s daily life. The…
Introduction Tillaux fractures are traumatizing ankle injuries in children caused by a Salter-Harris III fracture of the anterolateral distal portion of the tibia the epiphysis. The irregular closure of the distal tibial physeal plate causes the mechanism of injury in a Tillaux fracture, resulting in the classic Tillaux fracture pattern in adolescent patients. This is…
Introduction A hip fracture is a break in your hip joint’s thighbone (femur).The joints are locations where two or more bones meet. The hip joint, which connects your thighbone to your pelvic bone, is a “ball and socket” joint. The head of the thighbone is the hollow part of the hip joint. The socket is…
Introduction A humerus fracture is a fracture in the humerus bone of the upper arm. There are two necks on the proximal humerus. The surgical neck is the metaphyseal area below the humeral head, while the anatomic neck is the old epiphyseal plate. The anterior and posterior humeral circumflex arteries supply blood to this region,…
