Hace 4 días · The results of a malunion vary by severity and the region of the body affected, but may include pain, loss of mobility, and loss of bone and muscle strength. Explore the different types of bone fractures, their causes, and how to treat them.
Hace 4 días · Learn about transverse fractures including diagrams. A transverse fracture is a specific type of broken bone where the break is at a right angle to the long plane of the bone. Transverse fractures most often occur as the result of a strong force applied perpendicular to the long axis of a bone.
Hace 5 días · Hip fracture is a serious complication of osteoporosis affecting approximately 300 000 Americans per year and is associated with a 20-30% one-year mortality rate. Most patients with hip fracture are elderly (average age 80-81 years), with multiple underlying medical conditions and are often unable to timely attend post-hospitalization ...
Hace 5 días · Fractures of the scapula are usually associated with high-energy trauma and its management has deeply changed in the last decade. The unfavorable scapular anatomy, combined with the complexity of the approaches for fracture fixation, make the treatment challenging, even for experienced surgeons.
Hace 4 días · A crack, or hairline fracture, is a minor, thin break that doesn’t fully separate the bone. Fractures, on the other hand, can range from partial breaks to complete breaks with significant displacement or multiple pieces. Causes include trauma, stress, and bone-weakening conditions.

Hace 5 días · Cervical spine fractures are classified based on their stability (stable versus unstable), the distorting force that caused the fracture (extension, flexion, rotation), and the level of the cervical fracture.
Hace 4 días · Fractures that are more vertical have higher shear forces across the femoral neck, and may have a greater potential for hardware failure. In addition to displacement, the rotation of the femoral head must be evaluated to give an estimate of the severity and the comminution of the fracture.
