The femur is the human body’s longest, strongest, and heaviest tubular bone, as well as one of the primary load bearing bones in the lower extremity. High energy forces, such as car accidents, frequently cause femoral shaft fractures. Adult midshaft femur fracture complications and injuries can be fatal, including hemorrhage, [...]
The severity of spinal fractures can vary greatly. Some fractures are extremely serious wounds brought on by high-energy trauma and call for immediate medical attention. In an older person with osteoporosis-weakened bones, other fractures may occur as a result of a less severe incident, like a minor fall. The majority [...]
The radius and ulna, two bones that make up the forearm, are found on the thumb and pinky sides, respectively. The radius and ulna are the two bones that make up your forearm. Most adult forearm fractures involve both broken bones. In the middle of the forearm, at the top [...]
The pelvis is a strong ring of bones at the base of the spine. Pelvic fractures are uncommon, accounting for only about 3% of all adult fractures. The majority of pelvic fractures are caused by a traumatic, high-energy event, such as a car accident. Because the pelvis is so close [...]
Poor bone quality, which is frequent in older persons, increases the technical difficulties and complications of fracture therapy. The purpose of surgery is to improve bone and/or joint alignment, maintain blood flow to facilitate healing, and offer stability to allow for early movement. Plates are used to close the bone [...]
A broken hand is one in which one or more of the hand’s bones have broken or cracked. Falling or receiving direct strikes can result in this injury. Hand bones can break in car accidents, sometimes in multiple pieces, and frequently need surgery to be repaired. If you play contact [...]
Foot and ankle bone fractures can happen to anyone, at any time. Seeking care for fractures is critical to ensuring that healing occurs as rapidly as feasible. A fracture is a break or injury to the bones. Fractures come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from minor hairline [...]
The knee, one of the more complicated weight-bearing joints, is particularly prone to damage and degeneration in the form of osteoarthritis. If you’re one of the millions of people who experience excruciating pain as a result of an orthopedic injury or a degenerative disease like arthritis, it’s likely that you’ve [...]
Maxillary fractures are frequent in individuals with facial injuries and can result from assault, sports, or auto accidents. Maxillary fractures are a common emergency that need to be evaluated and treated right away to reduce mortality and morbidity. Due to the difficulty of managing them, midface fractures are treated more [...]
Trauma is a term for a bodily harm that comes from the Greek word for “wound.” It involves transfer of kinetic energy. Fractures, subluxations, and dislocations of bones and joints are all examples of orthopaedic trauma. There are several degrees of trauma. Over the past 50 years, considerable improvements [...]
