Fractures A fracture is a break‚ usually in a bone. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents‚ falls or sports injuries (Fractures: MedlinePlus). Stress fractures‚ which are very tiny cracks in the bone‚ can occur when there is an overuse of the bone which is common with athletes(Fractures: MedlinePlus). You may also be prone to broken bones if you have osteoporosis or another bone disease which causes weakening of the bones (Fractures: MedlinePlus).When I fractured my wrist I experienced

call a bone fracture. When a fracture occurs they are classified as either a compound (open) fracture or a simple (closed) fracture. A compound fracture would result if “the bone exits and is visible through the skin‚ or a deep wound that exposes the bone through the skin” (Pierce-Smith‚ 2008) whereas a simple fracture would result if “the bone is broken‚ but the skin is intact” (Pierce-Smith‚ 2008). Within these two different classifications there are multiple types of fractures such as greenstick

That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection. Many first aid manuals go into great detail about exactly what should be done with each individual kind of fracture that might occur. This is useful information to have. But with fast

study the Microstructual influence on fracture resistance in 7000 seriers aluminium alloys. Fracture toughness is an indication of the resistance of a material to physical separation by a process of unstable macrocrack propagation. The microstructural features such as coarse particles of intermetallic (IM) phases‚ dispersoids‚ inter- and intragranular precipitates‚ precipitate-free zones ‚ grain size and orientation are known to exert significant effects on fracture resistance.So this paper focusses

Common Fibular Nerve Lesion Following a Tibial and Fibular Spiral Fracture: a Case Report By: Jose Shimokawa SPT Introduction Tibial fractures are the most common long bone fractures and frequently associated with fibular fractures—in part‚ due to forces being transmitted across the interosseous membrane to the fibula.1 Fractures are generally managed by closed reduction or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)‚ 2 which is usually followed by a period of immobilization. The most common impairments
