Open – A fracture in which the skin is broken at site of fracture, it is also known as a compound fracture. 3. Complicated – A fracture of the bone combined with the lesion of some artery, nervous trunk, or joint. 4. Comminuted - A fracture in which the bone is broken into more than two fragments.
Fibrodysplasia is one of the most interesting diseases. A disease that basically causes bones to grow all over the body, due to sudden movement, injury, shots, etc. As the disease progresses the patient will begin to lose all function of their body until the only moving parts left are the eyes and lips. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), is an extremely rare disease effecting the connective tissues. Also known as Stone Man Syndrome, Fibrodysplasia is a mutation of the body’s repair mechanism that causes fibrous tissues such as muscle, tendon and ligament tissues to ossify (turn to bone) spontaneously or when damaged.
The bones can also become so brittle that they will break first, potentially causing one to fall. The hip, wrist, and backbone (what supports the body), are the common bones effected. It is very common that the diagnosis of osteoporosis is not made until a person experiences the fall and fractures bones. There are some warning signs associated with osteoporosis such as a stooping, bent over posture or shrinking height. The aging process alone will cause bones to weaken; however, the causes of osteoporosis are more complex than just aging.
Other risks from lupus are infections, cancer, bone tissue death, and pregnancy complications. Bone tissue death occurs when the blood supply of a bone reduces causing tiny breaks in the bone and eventually the bone collapses. The hip joint is the most commonly affected bone. People with lupus are more vulnerable to infections because the disease and treatments weaken the immune system. Some treatments for lupus are NSAIDs, antimalarial drugs, corticosteroids, and immune suppressants.
There are many ways to treat chronic joint pain; it is the decision of the patient in cooperation of the patient’s physician to decide which treatment method is the right one for that patient. There are many methods of treatment for chronic joint pain. Joint replacement, therapy, and medication are all ways to manage pain, however; treating the underlying cause is a good place to start (www.rightdiagnosis.com). When a physician and patient both understand fully where the pain is originating from, the task of managing the pain could possibly be easier to accomplish. To treat the underlying cause means to find out the root of where the pain is coming from.
When the case history is taken, the patient will remember a particular time that may have caused the injury. Injury resulting from a hard knock on the leg in the area behind the knee could occur in sports such as football and rugby and as well as the possible damage to the areas mentioned in first paragraph, bruising and damage to the gastronomies and soleus muscles may also occur. Depending on the severity of the hit to the posterior of the knee it could cause many symptoms. There could be a bruised or swollen knee. There may be limited movement or maybe very painful.
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.
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.
ACL tears can affect lots of people but with surgery you can come back from an injury better than before. ACL tears are a serious injury because they do not heal themselves so no matter what they will require surgery or rehab to make the knee more stable. Usually it tear by doing athletic stuff such as sports. When the ACL tears people will usually feel a pop of the muscle tearing. Tackling can tear your ACL if you get hit on the side of the knee.
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.
