What types of issues related to bone development and repair would you expect associated with someone suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder most commonly resulting from defects in collagen production and processing? a. Bones are abnormally weak, brittle and highly flexible. In severe cases, individuals may have abnormal bone formation as manifested by thicker and longer bones resulting in a taller stature. b. Abnormally weak bones prone to breakage and fracturing upon mild trauma would be expected. In severe cases, individuals may have abnormal bone formation as manifested by thicker and longer bones resulting in a taller stature. c. Bones are abnormally weak and highly flexible. In severe cases, individuals may have abnormal bone formation as manifested by thinner and/or shorter bones, perhaps resulting in a shorter stature. d. Abnormally weak bones prone to breakage and fracturing upon mild trauma would be expected. In severe cases, individuals may have abnormal bone formation as manifested by thinner and/or shorter bones, perhaps resulting in a shorterstature.
The type of fracture that includes Colles' splintered or crushed bone is: Greenstick, Compound, Comminuted 122. The general term for joint arthroplasty reconstruction is: Arthrodesis, Osteoarthritis, osteotomy 123. Visualization of a joint for diagnosis and conservative treatment of joint disease called: Arthroscopy 124. Herniation of the brain and its coverings through a defect in the skull called: Meningoencephalocele, Myelomeningocele, Encephaloma, Aneurysm
