1. bone mineral density: amount of mineral in bone
2. Dupuytren's contracture: Flexion contracture of the forth and fifth fingers
3. fragility fracture: a fracture caused by osteoporosis
4. ganglion: round benign cyst usually on the wrist or foot
5. Hallux valgus deformity: condition in which the great toe drifts laterally
6. osteomyelitis: infection in bone caused by pathogens
7. osteonecrosis: bone tissue death from lack of blood flow
8. osteoporosis: chronic bone loss that causes decreased bone density, which
leads to fractures
9. Paget's disease: chronic, slowly progressive skeletal metabolic bone disorder
that causes rapid bone destruction and reformation
