  • Avascular necrosis of bone

    Osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis, is a disease resulting from the temporary or permanent loss of the blood supply to the bones. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and causes the bone to collapse. If the process involves the bones near a joint, it often leads to collapse of the joint surface. This disease also is known, aseptic necrosis, and ischemic bone necrosis.Although it can happen in any bone, osteonecrosis mos  Read More

  • Bacterial arthritis

    There is no cure for bacterial arthritis, but you can take certain medications to reduce the symptoms. 1. If you have bacterial arthritis, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics to help get rid of the bacteria and reduce inflammation. The most common antibiotic used for bacterial arthritis is doxycycline. It's usually taken twice a day for two to four weeks. 2. You may also want to try over-the-counte  Read More

  • Camptomelic syndrome

    "Camptomelic syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of certain bones in the body. It is most commonly found in children, but it can also affect adults. Camptomelic syndrome is diagnosed through a physical exam, and it can be confirmed with X-rays and/or CT scans. Camptomelic syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FGFR2 gene. This gene controls how your body grows bones, especially those of the hands and feet. When a pe  Read More

  • Connective tissue disease

Cold and numb fingers or toes (Raynaud's disease). In response to cold or stress, your fingers or toes might turn white and then purplish blue. After warming, the fingers or toes turn red. Swollen fin  Read More

  • Cryoglobulinemia, essential mixed

    Mixed cryoglobulinemia is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of cryoglobulins in the blood. Cryoglobulins are abnormal proteins that thicken and clump together at cold temperatures, usually below 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (the average human body temperature). However, the exact temperature at which this occurs may vary from one person to another. When these proteins clump together, they can restrict blood flow to joints, muscles, and  Read More

  • Hypermobility syndrome

    Hypermobility syndrome facts The joint hypermobility syndrome is a condition that features joints that easily move beyond the normal range expected for a particular joint. Hypermobile joints tend to be inherited. Symptoms of the joint hypermobility syndrome include pain in the knees, fingers, hips, and elbows. Often joint hypermobility causes no symptoms and requires no treatment. Treatments are cus  Read More

  • Marfanoid hypermobility syndrome

    Marfanoid hypermobility syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the connective tissue in the body. In many ways, it resembles the more common Marfan syndrome. However, while Marfan syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can cause serious health problems and even death, marfanoid hypermobility syndrome is much less severe—it's estimated that fewer than 1% of people with Marfan syndrome actually have this condition.  Read More

  • Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia

    Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a rare inherited spectrum of disorders characterized by malformation (dysplasia) of the "growing portion" or head of the long bones (epiphyses).

The goal of treatment in osteoarthritis is to red  Read More

  • Osteochondritis dissecans

The cause of osteochondritis dissecans is often unknown. Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, and even locking of the joint. Osteochondritis dissecans is best diagnosed with imaging studies. Arthroscopic surgery is a procedur  Read More
