Across
  1. 4. – a benign bone tumor covered with cartilage, usually near a growth plate.
  2. 5. – an artificial replacement for a missing body part, such as a limb or joint.
  3. 7. – a malignant tumor of bone marrow, typically involving abnormal plasma cells.
  4. 8. – inflammation of bone tissue.
  5. 9. fracture – a fracture in which the bone breaks through the skin.
  6. 11. – the cup-shaped socket of the hip bone that holds the head of the femur.
  7. 13. – the surgical wiring or suturing of bones.
  8. 14. necrosis – death of bone tissue caused by inadequate blood supply.
  9. 18. surgeon – a physician specializing in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of bone, joint, and muscular disorders.
  10. 22. fracture – a collapse of bone, often occurring in vertebrae due to trauma or osteoporosis.
  11. 24. – surgical removal of the lamina of a vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
  12. 27. fixation – surgical stabilization of a fracture using implants such as plates, screws, or rods.
  13. 28. – reduced bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis.
  14. 29. – a childhood disorder caused by vitamin D or calcium deficiency leading to soft, deformed bones.
  15. 31. – the intentional surgical breaking of a bone to correct a deformity.
  16. 32. – the long bones of the hand located between the wrist and finger bones.
Down
  1. 1. fracture – a break in bone that occurs because the bone was weakened by disease.
  2. 2. – bone
  3. 3. – softening of bones due to poor mineralization, commonly from vitamin D deficiency in adults.
  4. 6. – the long bones of the foot between the ankle bones and the toes.
  5. 7. – spinal cord or bone marrow
  6. 10. – skull
  7. 12. – the rounded bony prominence on each side of the ankle joint.

  9. 16. – a serious infection of bone and bone marrow.
  10. 17. – the individual bones forming the spinal column.
  11. 18. – a chronic condition of decreased bone mass causing fragile, easily fractured bones.
  12. 19. – inflammation of the periosteum, the connective tissue covering the bone.
  13. 20. fracture – a fracture in which the bone is shattered or crushed into three or more pieces.
  14. 21. – premature fusion of cranial sutures causing abnormal skull shape and potential pressure on the brain.
  15. 23. disease – a chronic bone disorder involving abnormal bone remodeling that leads to enlarged, weak, and deformed bones.
  16. 25. x-ray absorptiometry – a low-dose imaging test used to measure bone mineral density and diagnose osteoporosis.
  17. 26. – the upper portion of the sternum that connects with the clavicles and first ribs.
  18. 30. – rib
