Bone Disorders

4.1K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
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...

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
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...

Fractures: Bone Repair

3.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Education
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • The proportion of women in orthopedic surgery remains low globally.
  • Understanding gender-based differences in residency choices is crucial for promoting diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the demographics of orthopedic residents in Argentina.
  • To identify social and demographic differences between male and female residents.
  • To determine factors influencing women's decisions to pursue orthopedic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • An observational, descriptive study conducted in two phases.
  • Analysis of the Argentine Orthopedic Association database (2016-2017).
  • A survey distributed to orthopedic residents regarding demographics and preferences.

Main Results:

  • Women constituted 13% of 933 orthopedic residents.
  • Significant gender differences observed in marital status and parental roles.
  • Women favored pediatric, foot/ankle, and hand orthopedics; men preferred arthroplasty and arthroscopy.

Conclusions:

  • Key motivators for women included manual work, personal desire, and positive university experiences.
  • Perceived physical demands and a male-dominated environment were significant deterrents for women.
  • The low representation of women in Argentine orthopedics mirrors international trends, highlighting a need for targeted interventions.
