Older children tend to injure themselves while playing sports, riding bicycles, and in motor vehicle accidents. Also, because a child’s ligaments are stronger than those of an adult, forces which would tend to cause a sprain in an older individual will be transmitted to the bone and cause a fracture in a child. Caution should therefore be exercised when assessing a young child diagnosed with a sprain. 1. Plastic Deformation - A force produces microscopic failure on the tensile/convex side of bone which does not propagate to the concave side.
Spiral breaks are seen more in children as well, these breaks are where the bones are twisted apart. Compression fractures are caused by compressions to the bone. This can most likely occur with people who have osteoporosis. A Colles fracture is a wrist break; backward and outward displacement of the hand. This fracture was named after an Irish surgeon Abraham Colles.
When someone sprains an ankle there will be swelling, bruising and tenderness and the pain will be at the lateral part of the ankle and sometimes at the medial part. The ankle is a hinge joint and articulates from three bones, which are the talus, tibia, and fibula. (1. Heck) The ligaments support the ankles stability and when someone has recurrent ankle sprains it is likely that they could lose their normal kinematics. (6 Maughan) Muscles that cause
There are many fracture types which include: A hairline fracture which is where the bone doesn’t fully break and is not clear when x-rayed. Complex fracture which is caused by a twisting movement and the bones are separated which makes it more difficult to heal. Greenstick fracture is where the bone splits on the side and bends on the other this is more common in children. Comminuted fracture is where your bone is crushed into pieces this usually only happens in a serious accident. Impacted fracture is where your bone goes into another when it breaks.
Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis is a crippling condition that often prevents people from working within five to ten years of diagnosis. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage in the joints. Cartilage is tough tissue that provides cushioning between the bones that make up the joints. Loss of this protective cushion often results in bone spurs and cysts and allows bones to rub on each other, which is extremely painful. The affected joints are usually “load-bearing” joints located in the knees, hands, hips, feet, and spine, although the condition often starts in a single joint.
Disease Pathology Week 9 Assignment 1. Compound fracture is an injure where the broken bone pierces the skin, which causes infection. 2. The femur should be immobilized before transport because JR has a c compound fracture of the femur. Moving the femur during transportation may cause more pain and serious problems can occur.
A sprain is an injury that involves the tearing or stretching of a ligament or a joint capsule. Sprains happen when a joint is forced past its regular range of motion. I believe Jill sprained her ankle because there was severe ankle pain, swelling, bruising and Jill could not walk after the second incident. A strain is an injury that involves the tearing or stretching of a muscle and or tendon structure. An acute strain of the muscle or tendon structure happens at the connection where the muscle is becoming a tendon.
Explain the muscle anatomy or the hip and what function each muscle group performs. Discuss in detail how a femur fracture may be life threatening to an athlete. 31. Explain what myositis ossificans is and how it may develop. Myositis ossificans means that bone forms within muscle due to a blunt injury that causes deep tissue bleeding in an athlete.
In OA, the wearing of the cartilage allows bones underneath to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. People with OA usually experience joint pain and stiffness, and the most commonly affected joints are those at the ends of the fingers and thumbs, neck,
MP11 002 Managing paediatric illness and injury Name: Nazia Forid CACHE Centre Number: 363.000 M 1.1 Describe the common types of fractures Greenstick fractureA greenstick fracture occurs to mostly children as their bones are not as strong as adults and will often bend rather than fully break. A greenstick fracture is a bone that is broken or snapped on one side and bent on the other side. A greenstick fracture is treated by bending the bone back to its original position and casted for roughly 6 weeks depending on the seriousness of the bend. A greenstick fracture must be treated by a doctor. Simple fractureA simple fracture is a bone that has been broken in two fragments.
