Lecture notes illustrated with color photos. Major topics include normal bone tissue (formation, mineralization, development, and resorption), congenital and hereditary bone disorders, infections, metabolic diseases, fractures, and tumors. Featured pathologies include achondroplasia, enchondromatosis, multiple extoses, osteomalacia, osteomyelitis, tuberculosis, syphilis, and rickets.
Images of endochondral and membranous bone formation in addition to many skeletal pathologies (including achondroplasia, arthritis, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, rickets, and synovial sarcoma). Images include x-rays, hemisections, gross and microscopic sections.
Images of patterns of injury associated with trauma in gross, microscopic, and radiographic views. Explanatory text accompanies each image. Mostly soft tissue, but includes some skeletal trauma difficult to find elsewhere (such as gunshot wounds and skull fracture).
Part of the University of Iowa School of Medicine's on-line multimedia textbook series. Deals with trauma, infection, arthritis, bone tumors, and metabolic bone diseases. Definitions, diagnoses, and radiographic images are included.
From Paediapedia: An Imaging Encyclopedia of Pediatric Disease, part of the University of Iowa School of Medicine's on-line multimedia textbook series.
Features descriptions of diseases and trauma in infants and children. Topics include achondroplasia, child abuse, epiphyseal plate fracures, rickets, scurvy, and thallassemia. Notes include information on normal healing times expected in children where applicable.
Includes definition, demographics, clinical presentation, radiographic, gross and microscopic features, and imaging studies of osteosarcoma. Prepared at the University of Florida and based on the text Musculoskeletal Pathology. Photographs and radiographic images are high-quality.
Photographs of pathologies found in the Crow Creek Massacre Skeletons. Includes congenital / developmental, degenerative, dental, infectious / inflammatory, and metabolic / nutritional diseases, trauma, and tumors accompanied by discussion of these pathologies in modern and prehistoric contexts.
