  1. 2. A stiff joint caused by adhesion, or abnormal fusion of two bones into one.
  2. 4. Joint disease that mostly affects cartilage between the bone and joint;
  3. 8. Condition of small holes in the bones; noticeable loss of bone density
  4. 12. Tumor or bony projection that covers cartilage.
  5. 14. Trauma to the ligaments surrounding a joint, causing pain and, in some cases, disability.
  6. 18. Malignant tumor that arises from connective tissue and affects the bone.
  7. 20. Visual examination of a joint using a scope
  8. 23. Abnormal, forward curvature of the lumbar spine; swayback
  9. 25. Joint swelling at the base of the great toe, caused by infl ammation of the bursa.

  11. 28. Abnormal, lateral curvature of the spine
  12. 29. softening of the cartilage
  13. 33. Abnormal softening of the bone. In children, this condition is known as rickets.
  14. 34. A break in a bone.
Down
  1. 1. Total displacement of a bone from its joint.
  2. 3. Inflammation of joints; usually accompanied by pain and, frequently, structural changes in bone and cartilage.
  3. 5. Bone defi ciency; in a young person, less-than-average bone density.
  4. 6. Inflammation of the bone and bone marrow
  5. 7. Abnormal, outward curvature of the thoracic spine; humpback; called Dowager’s hump in older women

  10. 15. A bone that has splintered or has been crushed
  11. 16. Bone tissue death that occurs when the bone has become sequestered, or separated, from the healthy tissue around it, due to lack of blood supply.
  12. 17. Form of arthritis in which uric acid builds up in the blood and causes joint swelling and pain; \
  13. 19. Infl ammation of the periosteum, the covering that surrounds the bone.
  14. 21. Congenital deformity of the foot involving the talus
  15. 22. Inflammation of a tendon.
  16. 24. pain in the bone
  17. 27. Cancer of the plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) that originates in the bone marrow.
  18. 30. Tumor of the bone.
  19. 31. Stiffening of the spine
  20. 32. Pain in the lower back (lumbar) region.
