bone injuries and diseases
greenstick fracture
.a fracture of the bone, occurring typically in children, in which one side of the bone is broken and the other only bent.

hairline fracture
Stress fracture, also known as a hairline fracture, or fissure fracture, is a fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time.

open fracture
An open fracture can be defined as a broken bone that is in communication through the skin with the environment.

bowing fracture
Bowing fractures are incomplete fractures of tubular long bones in paediatric patients (especially the radius and ulna), often require no intervention and heal with remodelling.

Single Fracture
wearing protection like knee pads,helmets,and elbow pads
a complete fracture, your bone breaks completely. It's snapped or crushed into two or more pieces.,single fracture, in which your bone is broken in one place into two pieces. comminuted fracture, in which your bone is broken or crushed into three or more pieces.
.
comminuted fracture
A comminuted fracture is a break or splinter of the bone into more than two fragments.

Shin Splints
acute pain in the shin and lower leg caused by prolonged running, typically on hard surfaces.
wearing protection like knee pads,helmets,and elbow pads
complete fracture
complete fracture one involving the entire cross section of the bone.
wearing protection like knee pads,helmets,and elbow pads
Bone Cancer
A bone tumor may cause a painless mass. Some people have dull, aching pain. And in some cases, minor injury causes a fracture near the tumor.
Treatments include surgery and radiation. Some noncancerous tumors go away without treatment.
Prevention is to stay away from negative lifestyle habits which can raise the risk such as smoking or stress.
Arthritis
painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints.
Symptoms include pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, and stiffness.
Medications, physical therapy, or sometimes surgery helps reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Leukemia
a malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes. These suppress the production of normal blood cells, leading to anemia and other symptoms.
There is no known way to prevent most types of leukemia.
Rapidly growing types of leukemia may cause symptoms that include fatigue, weight loss, frequent infections, and easy bleeding or bruising.
Treatment is highly variable. For slow-growing leukemias, treatment may include monitoring. For aggressive leukemias, treatment includes chemotherapy that's sometimes followed by radiation and stem-cell transplant.
Osteoporosis
Many people have no symptoms until they have a bone fracture.
a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D.
Treatment includes medications, healthy diet, and weight-bearing exercise to help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones.
You can build strong bones and help prevent osteoporosis with weight-bearing exercise and a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D
Scoliosis
abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
Often, no treatment is necessary. Sometimes a brace or surgery is needed.
Most cases are mild with few symptoms. Some children develop spine deformities that get more severe as they grow. Severe scoliosis can be painful and disabling.
Exercise does not seem to prevent scoliosis from getting worse, but strong back muscles can help reduce the achy pain often associated with scoliosis.
