November 1, 2000 Bone Density Testing Now Available at Mt. Blue Orthopedics Mt. Blue Orthopedic Surgeons, the physician practice of Dr. Hellmut Bitterauf, Dr. Gregory Leather, and Dr. Jeffrey McElroy, has a new weapon in the battle against a condition once thought of as being an inevitable consequence of aging. Staff at Mt. Blue Orthopedic Surgeons demonstrate their new DEXA bone densitometry machine. From left: Brigitte Girardin, RTR; Dr. Hellmut Bitterauf; and Cindy Olsen, RTR(M)(CT). Osteoporosis, a disease that lowers bone density and causes brittle bones, affects more than 25 million Americans. "It has been identified as a major health threat, causing disability and contributing to the fear of aging," said Dr. Bitterauf. This month, Mt. Blue Orthopedic Surgeons will begin offering bone densitometry services to their patients. The new DEXA scan (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) uses low dose radiation to measure bone density in key areas including the femur, spine, and total body. "This is an essential new state-of-the art tool in osteoporosis diagnosis and management, fracture risk assessment, and in monitoring response to therapy," said Dr. Bitterauf. "With increasingly effective treatments for osteoporosis in the last few years, it's a good idea for those with osteoporosis risk factors to get checked."

Orthopedics 101 - The Bare Bones by L. Mattthew Jones, M.D. Sports medicine physician and board certified orthopedic surgeon Until the late teens, athletes are vulnerable to injury because the skeletal and muscular systems are not fully developed. A basic understanding of the musculoskeletal system may help you understand common sports injuries. Your brain sends signals along nerves to a muscle, telling it to contract. This pulls the bone to create movement. Your skeleton consists of over 600 muscles. Gradual increase in frequency and intensity of exercise works the muscles to make them bitter and more powerful. Adolescent hormones are needed for large muscle development. Warm ups get blood flowing to muscles and ligaments to make them more flexible to prevent injury, and improve the athlete's reaction time. A muscle stretched when it is not warmed up, overstretched from excessive force, or not rested, can tear. Bleeding and swelling may be noticed. This is strain , commonly called a pulled muscle. Muscles of the neck, back, thigh or calf are commonly strained.

click to enlarge Content provided by O. Alton Barron, MD When force is applied to a bone, it bends only a little and then breaks. This is called a fracture (a "fracture" is synonymous with a "break"). There are several types of fractures. In a non-displaced fracture , the bone cracks with the broken pieces still in alignment. The injury is not visible from the outside, but shows up as a line or crack on a x-ray. In a displaced fracture , the bone breaks in two or more pieces that have moved out of alignment. The distortion is visible from the outside and the break often causes severe pain. In an open fracture, commonly called a compound fracture, the ends of the bone are displaced, visibly piercing the skin. In these cases, there is a significant risk of infection. Basically a fracture, which can involve any bone in the body, occurs when a strong force puts more stress on a bone than it can bear. Bones break differently depending on their structure and composition as well as the amount and type of force they are subjected to and the amount of energy they absorb prior to breaking. Fingers can be fractured by direct injury, i.e. jamming, hitting or crushing them, or by being twisted suddenly. Two of the most common fractures of the wrist are fractures of the distal radius and the scaphoid, one of the small bones of the wrist, which are often caused by falling on the hand.

Both sides contain lubricating fluid which normally eliminates friction in the area while maintaining smooth muscle movement over the bone. Sudden, extreme pressure or continuous strain can cause inflammation. Pain from bursitis can be very disabling and any joint in the body can be affected by bursitis. However, shoulders, knees and elbows are most commonly affected. Acute bursitis may heal with time if the joint is immobilized. Patients may consider using crutches or slings. Or, complete bed rest may help relieve the pressure on the affected area. In severe cases, your doctor may recommend surgery. 0002 Bursitis Bursitis is probably the most common hip joint condition. When it does not respond to traditional simple measures such as a modification of activities or a trail of anti-inflammatory medicines, then many times it is appropriate to consider referral to an orthopedic surgeon for better delineation of the problem. The suffix "itis" in medicine refers to an inflammation or irritation. A "bursa" is a fibrous covering overlying a bone. Hence, bursitis is an irritative condition overlying the bones in the hip typically the part of the femur known as the Great Trochanter. Frequently, an injection with a cortisone type preparation will be tried to see if the symptoms are alleviated. Many times, however, the focus of attention may be to determine if some other condition exists.

Women's Health Orthopedics Bursitis Avascular Necrosis Avascular Necrosis or Aseptic Necrosis of the hip represents a condition where the hip has at least temporarily lost the critical blood supply to the ball part of the hip. This can cause a condition where the bone begins to collapse at this weakened site and then arthritis can begin. This is the condition many people identify with Bo Jackson who eventually underwent hip replacement surgery for the treatment of this disorder. There are several factors which have been statistically identified with this condition, but for the vast majority of patients, there is no know cause. Arthritis of the Hip Tendonitis The tendon is the tissue connecting the tissue to the bone. A slight injury can make the tendon inflamed and torn. This condition is known as tendonitis. This is a painful condition, and takes quite a while to heal since the muscle is in constant use. When the torn area does not heal, it leaves a reminder a scar in the tendon which can cause pain. The pain usually disappears in a few weeks, but with older people, the pain can remain and even get worse over time. The injury can occur any place a tendon joins a muscle to the bone.

Wissman, D.V.M., Diplomate, ABVP, Avian Practice Bill Parsons, M.S. Avian Orthopedics As avian veterinarians, we are often called upon to treat avian orthopedic problems. Some occur as the result of trauma (ceiling fan injuries, flying into a window or mirror, or getting stepped on), others occur from nutritional imbalances, and others may occur as a result of genetic or developmental problems. Fortunately, our training in mammalian orthopedics will give us a good base for approaching correction of orthopedic problems, as the main principles are the same. Most of the orthopedic techniques developed for mammals can be applied to birds, taking into account the anatomical differences in avian species, and whether or not the bird can have flight restored. Anatomy and Physiology The bones of flighted birds are unique in that they have evolved some pneumatic bones that are hollow and contribute to the bird being light enough to fly. The bones of the pelvic girdle, some ribs, the humerus and the femur all are pneumatic, and contain large air-filled medullary canals that are involved with the respiratory cycle during flight. The bones of birds are relatively brittle and have thin cortices. They also contain more calcium than mammalian bone, which tends to make them more brittle and prone to developing multiple fractures at one site. The distal portion of the leg, below the tibiotarsus, has very little soft tissue covering bone, and the proximal half of the humerus also has little soft tissue covering bone, so fractures in these areas are often open and comminuted. When a pneumatic bone is fractured, often subcutaneous emphysema occurs, but it usually resolves within a day, without treatment.
