Bone Injuries
Clinical Manifestation
-
-
-
Bump, bend, or twist that is noticeable and unique.
Aetiology / Causes
Recurrent forces, such as jogging, can also fracture a bone. Stress fractures are the medical term for these sorts of injuries.
Osteoporosis, which affects bones as you age, is also another cause of fractures.
Even though bones are extremely strong, they can shatter. Most bone fractures occur when the bone collides with a greater force
It's a dangerous issue, so seniors should discuss their risk with a healthcare practitioner.
Diagnosis & Tests
-
X-rays - This technique creates a two-dimensional image of the fracture. This imaging is often used by healthcare practitioners.
A bone scan is used by doctors to detect fractures that aren't visible on an X-ray, this scan takes longer
MRI - An MRI uses high magnetic fields to produce extremely detailed pictures. A stress fracture is frequently diagnosed using an MRI.
Management and Treatment
You won't need a cast for tiny bones like your fingers and toes. Before applying a splint, your healthcare professional may bandage the injury.
Casts provide firm protection for the break, whereas splints just cover one side. Both supports straighten the bone and maintain it fixed
Pulleys and weights are used to stretch the muscles and tendons around the fractured bone in this therapy. Traction helps the bone recover by aligning it.

Definition
Such fractures can occur in a single direction or throughout the width of a femur. A fracture can divide a bone in half or break it into multiple fragments.
A bone fracture is what doctors term it when you suffer an injury. The form of the bone is altered as a result of the break
