Content

"Bone condition" refers to any of a variety of conditions of bones of a patient. Generally, a bone condition refers to an orientation, position, and/or alignment of one or more bones of the patient relative to other anatomical structures of the body of the patient. Bone conditions may be caused by or result from deformities, misalignment, malrotation, fractures, joint failure, and/or the like. A bone condition includes, but is not limited to, any angular deformities of one or more bone segments in either the lower or upper extremities (for example, tibial deformities, calcaneal deformities, femoral deformities, and radial deformities). Alternatively, or in addition, “bone condition” can refer to the structural makeup and configuration of one or more bones of a patient. Thus bone condition may refer to a state or condition of regions, a thickness of a cortex, bone density, a thickness and/or porosity of internal regions (e.g. whether it is calcaneus or solid) of the bone or parts of the bone such as a head, a base, a shaft, a protuberance, a process, a lamina, a foramen, and the like of a bone, along the metaphyseal region, epiphysis region, and/or a diaphyseal region.
