Orthopedic ailments

• Arthritis: It is an inflammation of a joint. It causes swelling, pain and leads to limited movement. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, coating on bones’ ends is destroyed and the joint space is narrowed. In rheumatoid arthritis, the linings of the joints inflame.
• Bursitis: It is inflammation of a bursa. It is a temporary condition and does not cause any significant change in the appearance. While it can occur at any bursa, some types are more common than the others such as hip bursitis, posterior Achilles’ tendon bursitis, retro malleolar tendon bursitis, elbow bursitis, kneecap bursitis and knee bursitis.
• Fibromyalgia:It causes pain in soft tissues and muscles throughout the body. Neck, hips, back, chest, buttocks and arms may get impacted. It is a chronic condition. Pain gets bad in morning and evening.
• Fracture: In fracture, a break occurs in the bone which may be complete or partial. The fracture may either be open or closed. In open fracture, the bone comes out and can be seen or a deep wound reveals the bone. However, in a closed fracture, the broken bone is not seen, and the skin remains unaffected.
  Fractures may be of several types:
  
  • Greenstick
  • Oblique
  • Transverse
  • Spiral
  • Compression
  • Comminuted
  • Segmental
• Osteoporosis: When the constituent portions of the bone are lost quickly or are not replenished in time, osteoporosis happens. It does not cause any symptoms. Some patients report to have experienced broken bones and a collapsed vertebra.
