Vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis
Vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis refers to a type of cervical spondylosis characterized by vertebrobasilar insufficiency, caused by various factors leading to compression or irritation of the vertebral artery by the cervical spine. Main symptoms include: migraine, tinnitus, hearing loss, vision loss, memory loss, and neurasthenia.
View detailsVertebral osteomyelitis
Vertebral osteomyelitis is an inflammatory disease of the bone and bone marrow of the vertebrae caused by infection. The main symptoms include swelling at the site of infection, weakness of surrounding muscles, and elevated body temperature.
View detailsLumbar transverse process syndrome
Lumbar transverse process syndrome is a condition caused by external forces damaging the tips of the lumbar transverse processes, leading to aseptic inflammation, adhesion, degeneration, and thickening of the attached muscles and fascia. This irritates the lumbar spinal nerves, resulting in pain in the lower back and buttocks, and significant tenderness at the transverse process. Because the third lumbar vertebra is the center of lumbar activity and has the longest transverse processes, its tips are most susceptible to damage from external forces. Therefore, this condition typically occurs at the transverse process of the third lumbar vertebra. This condition is common in individuals with a slender build and young to middle-aged manual laborers. The main symptoms include pain in the lower back and buttocks, and significant tenderness at the transverse process.
Supinator syndrome
Supinator syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by compression of the radial nerve near the elbow joint, leading to dysfunction of the forearm muscles. It is often caused by chronic forearm injury and is common in manual laborers and athletes. The main symptoms include elbow pain, weakened upper limb muscle strength, and impaired movement.
View detailsExtension type fracture of distal radius
A Colles fracture is a fracture of the distal radius, occurring in the cancellous bone of the distal radius and displaced dorsally. It is the most common type of distal radial fracture. This condition is common in elderly individuals. The main symptoms include localized swelling, pain, and limited movement in the wrist joint after injury. A characteristic "dinner fork" deformity may be present, along with subcutaneous ecchymosis.
View detailsDe Quervain's tenosynovitis
De Quervain's tenosynovitis, predominantly a stenosing tenosynovitis, is a chronic aseptic inflammation of the tendon sheath caused by repetitive friction or injury to the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis as they pass through the radial styloid process. Patients are typically women aged 30-50, presenting with pain and discomfort on the radial side of the wrist (thumb side) and at the base of the thumb.
View detailsCauda equina syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome refers to a series of neurological dysfunctions caused by compression of the cauda equina due to absolute or relative narrowing of the lumbosacral spinal canal, resulting from various congenital or acquired factors (such as spinal fractures, lumbar degenerative diseases, and tumors in the cauda equina region). Lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis are the most common causes of cauda equina syndrome.
View detailsChronic osteomyelitis
Chronic osteomyelitis is a chronic inflammatory process caused by bacterial infection, accompanied by bone destruction. It is more common in young and middle-aged men, and is mainly characterized by ulceration and pus discharge in the affected limb, accompanied by local skin and soft tissue edema and pigmentation.
View detailsOsgood-Schlatter disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease, primarily seen in adolescents during their growth spurt, is caused by rapid growth, immature and unstable bones, and repeated traction or trauma, leading to epiphysitis. It mainly presents as swelling and pain below the knee. Most patients recover spontaneously after skeletal maturity or by ceasing strenuous activities.
