    Bones can be injured through dislocations where the bone is totally displaced from its joint, or subluxations where there is partial displacement. Fractures involve breaks in bones and can be open (breaking the skin), comminuted (splintered), greenstick (partially bent), or spiral (twisted). Stress fractures are small cracks caused by overuse. Arthritis is an inflammatory joint condition that includes rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. Other bone conditions are sprains, osteomyelitis (bone inflammation from pathogens), and osteoporosis (porous, fragile bones prone to fractures).

    Health Science BONES Injuries:

    Dislocation: Total displacement of the bone from its joint. Subluxation: is the partial displacement of a bone from a joint. FRACTURE: Is broken bone or somewhat of a broke in a bone or crack in the bone Stress fracture: when there is a crack in a bone Open: when a bone breaks through the skin Comminuted: bone splinted or crushes Greenstick: Bone bent only partial broken (common in children) Spiral: Bone has been twisted apart Stress: An overuse injury small crack on bone

    Arthritis and other conditions


    Inflammatory condition of one or more joints there are many different types two most common are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, sprain: damage to a ligament. OSTEOMYELITIS: A bone inflammatory usually caused by a pathogen OSTEOPROSIS: bones become porous or sofy and likely to fracture
