Fracture3
- Elimination of pronation and supination neutralizes deforming forces (eg, brachioradialis) on the fracture fragments. (medscape.com)
- Plain radiographs should always be obtained after splinting to confirm that the fracture fragments are not displaced. (medscape.com)
- Note: The fracture must be anatomically realigned before implant insertion. (aofoundation.org)
Young2
- In a young patient with hard bone, a blade is relatively contraindicated, and a screw should be used instead (with tapping). (aofoundation.org)
- It's easy to take our bones for granted, but they can break, and they take time to heal - even when we are young. (orthofixkids.com)
Medial1
- The osteotome is passed through the medial cortical bone, the cancellous bone and partially through the lateral cortical bone (Figure 2 ). (biomedcentral.com)
Diseases2
- An imbalance in the regulation of bone remodeling's two contrasting events, bone resorption and bone formation, results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as OSTEOPOROSIS. (lookformedical.com)
- Diseases of BONES. (lookformedical.com)
Density3
- Actual bone density would be expressed in grams per milliliter. (lookformedical.com)
- Bone density is an important predictor for OSTEOPOROSIS. (lookformedical.com)
- Identify gaps or increased density due to overlapping of fragments. (aofoundation.org)
Length1
- It includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth: growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages and growth in thickness by depositing new bone (OSTEOGENESIS) with the actions of OSTEOBLASTS and OSTEOCLASTS. (lookformedical.com)
Line1
- Displacement of bones out of line in relation to joints. (lookformedical.com)
