Humeral fracture
A humeral fracture, also known as an "upper arm fracture," generally refers to a fracture of the humerus from below the surgical neck to 2-3 cm above the medial and lateral epicondyles. It is common in adolescents and can manifest as swelling, pain, deformity, abnormal mobility, and crepitus.

Cervical radiculopathy is a degenerative disease characterized by the stimulation and compression of cervical nerve roots by protruding intervertebral discs, hypertrophic ligaments, and osteophytes, leading to corresponding symptoms and signs. This condition is common in individuals aged 30-50 years. With changes in lifestyle and work patterns, there is a trend towards younger onset. The main symptoms include radiating pain and numbness from one or both shoulders and neck to the upper limbs. In later stages, upper limb weakness and difficulty with fine motor skills such as writing and buttoning may occur.

Thoracic outlet syndrome refers to a collection of symptoms caused by compression of the brachial plexus or blood vessels in the thoracic outlet (the space between the clavicle and the first rib) due to various reasons. Patients primarily experience pain, numbness, weakness, and even muscle atrophy in the shoulder, arm, and hand. They may also present with symptoms such as coldness, cyanosis in the hand, and diminished or absent arterial pulses.
Scheuermann's disease
Kyphosis is a spinal deformity caused by an imbalance between the spine's load-bearing capacity and the weight it supports. Adolescent kyphosis, also known as Scheuermann's disease, is a form of kyphosis that occurs in adolescents.

Calcaneal fracture is one of the most common fractures of the foot and ankle, accounting for approximately 65% of tarsal fractures. It is primarily caused by falls from a height or traffic accidents. After a fracture, the normal morphology of the calcaneus (length, width, height, etc.) is disrupted, leading to symptoms such as heel pain, swelling, subcutaneous ecchymosis, pes planus, local deformity, and difficulty standing and walking.
View detailsTibial and fibular fractures
The tibia and fibula are the two bones of the lower leg, located between the knee and ankle joints. Tibial and fibular fractures refer to fractures of these bones, which are among the most common fracture sites, particularly in children and young adults. The symptoms of this condition are similar to those of fractures in other areas, primarily including pain, swelling, deformity, and impaired mobility.

Femoral neck fracture refers to a fracture that occurs below the femoral head and above the base of the femoral neck due to direct or indirect violence. This condition is common in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The main symptoms include hip pain after trauma, limited lower limb movement, inability to stand and walk, and shortening, abduction, and external rotation deformity of the lower limb.
View detailsPatellar dislocation
Patellar dislocation refers to the condition where the patella slips out of the femoral trochlear groove, typically displacing laterally to the lateral femoral condyle. It primarily affects adolescents, presenting with symptoms such as knee swelling, pain, and difficulty with movement.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the most severe type of cervical spondylosis. It is a syndrome caused by degenerative changes in the cervical vertebrae and intervertebral discs, leading to central cervical spinal canal stenosis, compression of the cervical spinal cord, and subsequent spinal cord dysfunction. This condition is more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals, with a higher incidence in males than females. The main symptoms include weakness and instability when walking, increased muscle tone in the limbs, and in later stages, urinary and fecal incontinence, and even paralysis.
