[Bone and joint changes caused by exposure to local vibration]
Abstract:
The question to include locomotory disorders into set of symptoms of vibration disease due to local vibration is discussed over years. Studies of clinical symptoms of vibration disease in machinery construction workers demonstrated that bone and joint changes risk depends on intensity of vibration factor and length of exposure to local vibration, as well as on work hardiness. The authors specified X-ray criteria of bone and joint disorders and laboratory markers of bone tissue injury under exposure to local vibration.

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...

Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
