Abstract:
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an uncommon genetic disorder in which bone is replaced by immature bony and fibrous tissue, manifesting as slow-growing lesions. The craniofacial area is the most common site of fibrous dysplasia, and 9 out of 10 patients with fibrous dysplasia affecting the craniofacial bones present before the age of 5. This case of monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the mandible in a 06 year old child presented with severe bone pain and trismus. This case report emphasises on medical management of fibrous dysplasia with intravenous zoledronic acid resulting in prompt resolution of sign and symptoms.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
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...
01:29Bone 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...

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

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...
