A cortical defect in the humerus refers to a localized area of bone loss or thinning in the outer cortical layer of the humeral bone. This can result from various causes, including trauma, infection, tumors, or metabolic bone diseases. Such defects may weaken the structural integrity of the bone, potentially leading to fractures or other complications. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, and treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the defect.

What is an allograft cortical wedge for spinal surgery?
Allografts for spinal surgery include machined cancellous blocks, cortical dowels, cortical rings, PLIF and ALIF grafts, cortical and cancellous spacers of various sizes. Allografts for general orthopedic applications include frozen and freeze dried structural grafts such as ilium wedges, segmental grafts of femur, fibula, humerus, tibia etc. in a broad size range, and morselized mineralized and demineralized bone powder.
What causes fibrous cortical defect?
Fibrous cortical defect (FCD) is a benign bone lesion commonly found in children, primarily caused by a developmental anomaly during bone growth. It results from an imbalance in bone remodeling, where normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue due to localized defects in osteoblast function. FCD is often asymptomatic and typically resolves spontaneously as the child grows, with no need for treatment in most cases.
Where would you find cortical bone in the body?
Cortical bone, also known as compact bone, is primarily found in the outer layer of long bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus. It provides structural support and protection, functioning to withstand mechanical stress. Additionally, cortical bone can be found in the outer regions of flat bones, like the skull, and in the vertebrae. Its dense structure contrasts with the inner trabecular bone, which is more spongy and helps with bone metabolism and blood cell production.
What are cortical deficits?

What type of bone makes up the majority of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus?
The type of bone that makes up the majority of the diaphysis of a long bone such as the humerus is compact bone. The diaphysis is the shaft of the bone that contains bone marrow and adipose tissue.
What is the name of the single bone in the upper arm?
The humerus. The humerus is a long bone. It can make blood cells. However, the flat, small, and irregular bones can make blood but not as much as the long bones( humerus, femur).
