[Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (Jaffe-Lichtenstein)]
Abstract:
The study describes two cases of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the pelvis tending to progress along the lower extremities. The disease is of unknown origin and develops in the period of puberty. Has chronic qualities with remissions which could last for several years. The disease leads to deformities but spontaneous fractures are also possible. It is diagnosed by means of thorough radiologic examinations and histologically. Therapeutical treatment consists of symptomatic therapy and physiatric procedures, while cases of marked deformities and spontaneous fractures require surgical treatment.

Fibril-associated Collagen
For example, the type II collagen fibrils in cartilage have covalently bound type IX fibril-associated collagens at regular intervals. Other types of fibril-associated collagens are...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
