2. • Scoliosis is a sideway curvature of
the spine that most often is
diagnosed in adolscent.
• Children and teens with scoliosis
have an abnormal S-shaped or C-
shaped curve of the spine.
SCOLIOSIS
3.
4. SYMPTOMS
• Top of shoulder are uneven.
• One hip appears higher than the other.
• One side of the ribcage is higher than the
other when bending forward.
• If the scoliosis is progressing and the curve
is more severe, the changes in the shape of
the spine can lead to back pain. If the curve
is severe, rarely, some may develop
difficulty of breathing.
5. • In most cases, the cause of scoliosis is
idiopathic (unknown). Researchers continue to
study possible causes for scoliosis and think
that a combination of several factors may lead
to the disorders. These include: genes,
hormones, and changes in cell structure.
CAUSE
6. • Scoliosis treatments may vary, depending on
the size of the curve. A person who have mild
curves usually don’t need any treatment at all,
although they may need regular checkups to see
if the curve is worsening.
• Bracing or surgery may be needed if the spinal
curve is moderate or large.
TREATMENT
7. GOUT
• Gout is a type of inflammatory
arthritis that causes pain and
swelling in your joints, usually
as flares that last for a week or
two, and then resolve.
• Gout flares often begin in your
big toe or a lower limb.
8.
9. • Severe pain in one or more joints
• The joint feeling hot and very tender
• Swelling in and around the affected joint
• Red, shiny skin over the affected joint
SYMPTOMS
10. • Gout is caused by a condition known as
hyperuricemia. This is when there is too much
uric acid in the body. The body makes uric
acid when it breaks down purines, which are
found in your body and the foods you eat.
CAUSE
11. TREATMENTS
• The fastest way to treat gout is to drink
plenty of water, elevate and apply ice to
the affected joint, reduce stress, and take
over-the-counter pain relief such as
ibuprofen.
12. RHEUMATOID
ARTHRITIS
• Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic
inflammatory disorder that can affect
more than just your joints.
• In some people, the condition can
damage a wide variety of body
systems, including the skin, eyes,
lungs, heart and blood vessels.

14. • Tender, warm, swollen joints
• Joint stiffness that is usually worse in
the mornings and after inactivity
• Fatigue, fever and loss of appetite
SYMPTOMS
15. CAUSE
• RA is the result of an immune response in
which the body's immune system attacks
its own healthy cells. The specific causes
of RA are unknown, but some factors can
increase the risk of developing the
disease.
16. • Rest and exercise. Balance your rest
and exercise, with more rest when your
RA is active and more exercise when it
is not. Rest helps to decrease active
joint inflammation, pain, and fatigue.
TREATMENT
17. • Osteoporosis is a bone disease that
develops when bone mineral density and
bone mass decreases, or when the
structure and strength of bone changes.
This can lead to a decrease in bone
strength that can increase the risk of
fractures (broken bones).
OSTEOPOROSIS
18.
19. SYMPTOMS
• Osteoporosis is called a “silent” disease”
because there are typically no symptoms until a
bone is broken.
• Symptoms of vertebral (spine) fracture include
severe back pain, loss of height, or spine
malformations such as a stooped or hunched
posture (kyphosis) bones affected by
osteoporosis may become so fragile.
20. • Osteoporosis occurs when too much bone
mass is lost and changes occur in the
structure of bone tissue. Certain risk factors
may lead to the development of osteoporosis
or can increase the likelihood that you will
develop the disease.
CAUSE
21. TREATMENT
• Some of the most common medications
providers use to treat osteoporosis
include hormone therapies like
replacement estrogen or testosterone
and bisphosphonates.
22. BONETUMOR
• Bone tumors develop when cells
within a bone divide
uncontrollably, forming a lump or
mass of abnormal tissue.
• Bone tumors can affect any bone
in the body and develop in any
part of the bone — from the
surface to the center of the bone,
called the bone marrow.
24. • Patients with a bone tumor will often
experience pain in the area of the tumor
• Other symptoms of a bone tumor can include
fever and night sweats.
• Many patients will not have any symptoms,
but will note a painless mass instead.
SYMPTOMS
25. • For most bone tumors the cause is
unknown but few possible causes are
genetics, radiation treatment, and injuries
to the bones
CAUSE
26. • If your tumor is benign, your doctor may recommend just
monitoring it closely to see if it changes. During this time, you
may need periodic follow-up tests. Some benign tumors can
be treated effectively with medication • In some cases, your
doctor may recommend removing the tumor or another
surgical technique to reduce the risk of fracture and disability.
• If your tumor is malignant, the doctor often combine several
methods to treat malignant bone tumors such as
chemotherapy, radiation therapy, amputation, and limb
salvage surgery.
TREATMENTS
27. • Paget's disease of bone is a
chronic (long-lasting) disorder
that causes bones to grow larger
and become weaker than normal.
PAGET’SDISEASE
29. • Bone or joint pain
• Skin feeling warm over the affected bone
• Changes in bone shape
• Shooting pain that travels along or across
the body, numbness and tingling , or
balance problems
SYMPTOMS
30. • The cause of Paget's disease of bone is unknown.
Scientists suspect a combination of environmental
and genetic factors contribute to the disease.
Several genes appear to be linked to getting the
disease.
CAUSE
31. TREATMENTS
• Osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates)
are the most common treatment for
Paget's disease of bone. Bisphosphonates
are typically given by injection into a vein,
but they can also be taken by mouth.
32. OSTEOMYELITIS
• Osteomyelitis is an infection in
a bone. Infections can reach a
bone by traveling through the
bloodstream or spreading from
nearby tissue.
33.
34.
35. • Fever
• Swelling, warmth and redness over the area of the
infection
• Pain in the area of the infection
• Fatigue
SYMPTOMS
36. • Most cases of osteomyelitis are caused by
staphylococcus bacteria, types of germs
commonly found on the skin or in the
nose of even healthy individuals. Germs
can enter a bone in a variety of ways,
including: the bloodstream, injury, and
surgery.
CAUSE
37. • The most common treatments for osteomyelitis are
surgery to remove portions of bone that are
infected or dead, followed by intravenous
antibiotics given in the hospital.
