    1. Sacroiliitis causes include Psoriasis, Ulcerative Colitis, Behcet's disease, Crohn's disease, and Ankylosing spondylitis. 2. Bone fracture descriptions can use BLT LARD to describe Bone, Location, Type, Lengthening, Angulation, Rotation, and Displacement. 3. Factors that can cause nonunion of bones include soft tissue interposition, position of reduction, location of fracture, infection, nutrition, tumor, and joints.

    The document discusses various orthopedic conditions and provides mnemonics to help remember their associated signs, symptoms, classifications etc.

    The document discusses different types of bone fractures like greenstick fractures, open fractures, comminuted fractures etc.

    Joints are classified into synarthroses, amphiarthroses and diarthroses based on the amount of movement allowed at the joint.

    modified to SALTR:
    type 1: Slipped epiphysis
    type 2: Above the eiphyseal plate
