foot bones growth

When you see him, as him to tell you a little more about your injury. Broke your foot is a little vague. There are quite a few bones in your foot and ankle. Also, its important to know how bad the fracture was.

My son is now almost 13, when he was approx 6 we were told he had webbed feet as 2 toes on either foot appeared to be shorter.

Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.

Possibilities that may need to be considered include infections, inflammations, bursitis, neuroma, growth from the bones or the surrounding connective tissue etc. It would be best to have this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

Hi. I would just like to know if its only areas with broken bones? I had a kidney removed and I've noticed a lot of hair growth on my stomach. Being a young 20 year old its devastating to have this issue..

However my question is,other than the epiphysis of the long bones, can Accutane possibly also lead to premature fusion of bones other than the long bones, such as the cranial sutures of the skull? Or is this side effect reserved to the long bones? As you can tell, I am extremely concerned about this issue and would therefore appreciate as detailed a response as possible, calling on your medical knowledge in this area and literature you may be aware of.

Growth hormone and testosterone also control your growth and after 20 years your height will stabilize as after this your long bones would be fused and there will no increase in your height anymore. Take care!

i have what looks like a fungil growth on the underside of my right sole of my foot near my big toe. it consists of small pimple/blister things popping up around what looks like a bigger fungil thing/wart. it has started going red and itching.

I fractured my cuboid bone over 5 months ago from an injury sustained when I jumped from my boat onto a floating dock, Struck a rotten board that collapsed lodging my foot in place as I fell over. It was not dx for 5 or 6 weeks. A walking shoe was ordered and I continued to work and was told it should be fine in 2 or 3 weeks. I thought it was healing, but for the past 1+ months the pain is increasing - arch/ankle.

You may have an accessory navicular, which is an extra bone growth on the tarsal navicular, the bone in the arch of your foot. This can be accompanied by an abnormal attachment of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT) and can cause the sort of pain you are describing. Occasionally, the accessory navicular is injured and separated from the "true" navicular. If this does not heal correctly, it can also be a chronic source of instep pain.

generally describes a group of skeletal growth problems (skeletal dysplasia) that usually result in abnormal length/growth of the bones, and is particularly noticeable in the long bones. These are genetic syndromes and are not acquired. In the vast majority of skeletal dysplasias, the disorder is apparent at the time of birth due to abnormal measurement ratios of the bones.

Mine do that! Even if I move my foot my hips crack and pop. It's normal. Mine started doing it at 22 weeks.

Hi Doctor Vinod, I'm 44 years old healthy women. On june 29th 2009, I fell down and broke my tibia-fibula bones. My bones came out of the skin too. My doctor inserted a titanium rod and 2-screws. Though I'm almost recovered. Just a lttle limp and swelling around my Ankle end of the day. I go to gym 5-days a week and maintain good diet too. I want to remove my rod and screws by the next year may be in June 2010. Doctor is ready to do so.

My Husband and I are only concerned that this is not degenerative and that growth hormone can be given in the future to stimulate this child growth if is a boy ( we did not want to know the sex of the child). I am 4' 11" and my husband is 5' 11" and short satured people run on both sides of our families.

Try doing slowly with plantar flexion(pessing foot to the ground) and dorsiflexion(pressing foot away from the ground) and then sideways movement and you can put on more weight but always consult your primary surgeon for selecting the best time to do what and when. Take care!

They just meant your bones are done getting longer and you are at your final height.

So in essence, you can get yourself to grow faster but if your genetic limit is 5 foot, you will only reach 5 foot as it is coded into your cells to stop growing at a certain point. (P.S. I am 6 foot 8 ... the 6FT2 was a spelling mistake ...

Why do you think that 6 foot 1 inch is too much for your 17 years of age? How much larger are you compared to others in your class? How tall are your mother and father? I did some looking around and found this type of info on gigantism. "What is Gigantism? Gigantism is a rare condition that causes abnormal growth in children. It occurs when a child’s body produces too much growth hormone. Early diagnosis is important.

It sounds like you may have either had a serious sprain or broken some of those tiny bones that are in the foot. You definitely should see your doctor and he will probably order an X-ray. That sounds painful. I twisted mine before by missing a step, and the hospital put on a cast and this relieved the pressure on my foot and made it feel a lot better. Mine was just a sprain.

If his bones are more than that of a 16 year old unfortunately growth hormone will not provide much linear growth and he is at risk for more side effect than true benefit. The use of estrogen blockers like anastrazole or Armidex is controversial. This is a drug used to treat postmenopausal women as part of chemotherapy for breast cancer. We tend to consider use of this drug in the face of significantly early and rapidly progressive puberty.

He is just at - 2 SD for his genetic potential. A bone age will help determine if he has any growth left-if his bones on an xray compare to the standard for someone 16 or older, chances are he is just fine where he is and if his bones are a little younger he may squeak out a little more height. If he is healthy in everyway you have a perfect son!
