and outward to lift the periosteum.
18. Demarcated radiolucency representing the destruction phase of this
disease process. Has a cotton wool appearance.
19. Lack of vitamin D in the diet of infants and children can cause a
systemic disease referred to as:

posterior displacement of the distal fragment of the radius is:

24. Often contains punctate calcification in its cartilaginous matrix.
Malignant tumor of cartilaginous origin
25.A classic sunburst pattern of bony spicules that extend in a radiating
fashion is a characteristic radiographic appearance of:
26. Primary malignant tumors arising from the bone marrow of long
bones in children and young adults that usually cause localized pain.
27. A fracture that encircles the bone shaft and the bone has been
broken at an angle and twisted.
28. A fracture resulting from a weakness in the bone caused by a tumor
or infection is known as:
29. A type of fracture where a small bony fragment is pulled from a
prominence.
30. A fracture that is approximately 45 degrees to the long axis of the
bone.
