Abstract:
Case presentation of a four year old child with aggressive aneurysmal bone cyst of the fourth lumbar vertebra. Microscopic examination demonstrates a benign lesion. The roentgenographic pattern reflects a tumorlike bone destruction with signs of malignancy. Clinically, progression and invasion, similar to a semimalignant tumor, is noticed. The possible nature of this aggressive behaviour is discussed.

01:40Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
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 procedure...
