Ankle Fractures In Children

A broken ankle, also called an ankle fracture, is a common childhood injury. Ankle fractures in children are most likely to involve the tibia and fibula (the long bones in the lower leg). These types of fractures often involve the growth plates.

Chondroblastoma

Chondroblastoma is a rare type of benign (noncancerous) tumor that typically occurs in children and young adults. Although chondroblastomas are not cancerous, they will continue to grow if left untreated. Treatment almost always involves surgery to remove the tumor.

Growth Plate Fractures

Growth plates are areas of cartilage at the ends of the body’s long bones. Because the growth plates are the last portion of a child’s bones to harden (ossify), they are particularly vulnerable to fracture.

Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Soft tissue sarcomas are cancerous tumors that begin in the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, fat, joints, nerves, and blood vessels. There are many types of soft tissue sarcoma and some are more likely to spread than others.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta

People with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) have a genetic defect that impairs the body's ability to make strong bones. Some people have a severe form of the disorder and their bones break easily, but many have a milder form and go through life with few fractures.

Marfan Syndrome

Marfan syndrome is a disorder that affects connective tissue. Some of the more common characteristics of Marfan syndrome include being tall and thin, and having disproportionately long arms and fingers.

Staying Active As You Age

As we age, we lose muscle and bone mass. As a result, we may develop problems in our muscles, joints, and bones—such as back pain, osteoarthritis, or osteoporosis. Regular exercise will help slow this loss of muscle mass, strengthen bones, and reduce joint pain.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

All types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) damage the peripheral nerves, leading to muscle weakness and some loss of sensation in the arms, legs, hands, and feet. These symptoms often first appear during adolescence or early adulthood, but can develop later in life, as well.
