Bone Tumors Masquerading as Traumatic Injury
The Physician and Sportsmedicine
|July 23, 2016
Abstract:
In brief: The symptoms of bone tumors can be mistaken for those of overuse injuries or muscle strains or sprains. Such a missed diagnosis not only raises medicolegal questions, but can delay necessary, prompt treatment. This article presents four cases of bone tumors originally thought to be sports- related injuries. The authors stress the need for follow-up and for diagnostic tests to minimize the risk of incorrect diagnoses.

01:29Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones
14.5K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
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...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
6.4K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
