Compression fracture1
Traumatic1
  • Normally, people suffer from a traumatic fracture as a result of them having performed an activity that subjected the bone to enduring excessive pressure, stress, or a deep impact -- for instance, a fall, or a vehicular accident. (buzzle.com)
Tuberosity10
Sprain1
Open fractures5
  • Open fractures are highly contaminated and must be débrided and copiously irrigated in the operating room. (thefreedictionary.com)
  • Open fractures require antibiotics and an emergent orthopedic consultation. (medscape.com)
  • Management of open fractures of the lower limb. (medscape.com)
  • Howard M, Court-Brown CM. Epidemiology and management of open fractures of the lower limb. (medscape.com)
  • Following open fractures or open reduction procedures, a wound is created that must heal with scar tissue-another tissue to be remodeled and considered during rehabilitation. (scribd.com)

Bones8
  • As there is cartilage at the end of many bones at the joint, a fracture may also include a break in the cartilage. (healthtap.com)
  • Fractures and broken bones are the same thing. (healthtap.com)
  • An X-ray or a CT scan to check for broken bones and a bone scan to determine the site of the fracture may be taken to conclude the diagnosis. (nicktingmd.com)
  • An avulsion fracture in any of these bones can cause the individual to feel a sharp pain at the site of the fracture, particularly if they attempt to move the area. (facty.com)
  • The elderly are far susceptible to fractures than the pediatric population since their bones become brittle through senescence. (buzzle.com)
  • Different bones in the body have different capacities to bear impact, and hence vary in degree of susceptibility to fractures. (buzzle.com)
  • Certain medical conditions, such as osteopenia, osteoporosis, bone marrow cancer, bone cyst, or inherited bone disorders debilitate the bones to such an extent that a superficial impact, too, may cause the bones to fracture. (buzzle.com)
  • Results of corrective surgical procedures, such as capsulectomies for joint release and tenolysis to restore tendon gliding, were poor for patients with fractures.16,43,101,113 Joints with stiffness and abnormal articular surfaces, due to limited reduction techniques in small bones, faced the choice of fusion (arthrodesis) or joint replacement (arthroplasty).

Acute3
  • In Ellis II and III fractures in which the dentin or pulp is exposed, the clinician caring for the tooth fracture in the acute setting must create a seal over these injured teeth to protect the pulp from intraoral flora and potential infection. (medscape.com)
  • OTA/AO Classification Is Highly Predictive of Acute Compartment Syndrome After Tibia Fracture: A Cohort of 2885 Fractures. (medscape.com)
  • Signs include loss of the power of movement, pain with acute tenderness over the site of fracture, swelling and bruising, deformity and possible shortening, unnatural mobility, and crepitus or grating heard when the ends of the bone rub together. (tabers.com)
