Musculoskeletal disorders

human disease

injury to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions

Spondyloarthritis (SpA), also known as spondyloarthropathy, is a collection of syndromes connected by genetic predisposition and clinical symptoms. The best-known subtypes are enteropathic arthritis (EA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and reactive arthritis (ReA). Symptoms of spondyloarthritis include back pain, arthritis, and enthesitis, inflammation at bone-adhering ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules.

human medical condition affecting the sciatic nerve

human disease

an extensor tendon injury at the farthest away finger joint

non-cardiac thoracic pain syndrome

condition where the ulnar nerve becomes physically trapped or pinched, resulting in pain, numbness, or weakness

synovium cancer which develops in the synovial membrane of the joints

Medical term: pain radiating outward along a sensory nerve due to inflammation of the nerve root at the spinal column

skeletal muscle condition around the shoulder blade

medical condition

An enthesopathy refers to a disorder involving the attachment of a tendon or ligament to a bone. This site of attachment is known as the enthesis (pl. entheses). If the condition is known to be inflammatory, it can more precisely be called an enthesitis.

symptom

calcinosis that is the calcification or a bony hardening of ligaments in areas where they attach to the spine

human disease

cortical depression in the posterolateral head of the humerus

medical condition

disease

pseudocystics cavity formations of fibermixoid content in bones

medical condition

Foot drop is a challenging condition that affects the ability to lift the front part of the foot, often resulting in a dragging gait that can be both frustrating and risky. It is typically caused by neurological, muscular, or anatomical problems.

Melorheostosis is a medical developmental disorder and mesenchymal dysplasia in which the bony cortex widens and becomes hyperdense in a sclerotomal distribution. The condition ends in childhood and is characterized by thickening of the bones. Pain is a frequent symptom and the bone can have the appearance of dripping candle wax.

human disease

pain, dislocation or other issues with the shoulder or shoulder joint

medical condition

non-traumatic subluxation of the atlanto-axial joint caused by inflammation of the adjacent tissues. This is a rare disease that usually affects children.

medical condition which affects the bone

deviation from normal walking (gait)

the relief of pressure on the spinal cord or on one or more compressed nerve roots passing through or exiting the spinal column.

medical condition

Acropachy is a dermopathy associated with Graves' disease. It is characterized by soft-tissue swelling of the hands and clubbing of the fingers. Radiographic imaging of affected extremities typically demonstrates periostitis, most commonly the metacarpal bones. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by stimulating auto-antibodies that are implicated in the pathophysiology of Graves' thyrotoxicosis. There is no effective treatment for acropachy.

medical condition causing back pain

mild knee joint effusion

Osteolysis is an active resorption of bone matrix by osteoclasts and can be interpreted as the reverse of ossification. Although osteoclasts are active during the natural formation of healthy bone the term "osteolysis" specifically refers to a pathological process. Osteolysis often occurs in the proximity of a prosthesis that causes either an immunological response or changes in the bone's structural load. Osteolysis may also be caused by pathologies like bone tumors, cysts, or chronic inflammation.

sharp anterior bowing, or convexity, of the tibia

bony projections of the big toe or thumb

solitary bone cyst is a benign non-epithelial bone cavity that is asymptomatic and that is found most commonly in the second decade of life by chance. The long bones are most often affected, but cases involving the jaw bone have been reported

medical condition

Human disease

Dolichostenomelia is a human condition in which the limbs are unusually long. The name is derived . It is a common feature of several kinds of hereditary disorders which affect connective tissue, such as Marfan syndrome and homocystinuria.

syndrome that involves arachnodactyly, receding lower jaw, and joint laxity limited to the hands and feet

compression of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel
