Classification Current preference in terminology is to use open rather than compound to denote a fracture with an overlying wound. GustilloAnderson \classification (1) The prevalence of wound infection and nonunion increases with increasing grade of open fracture. The Gustillo Anderson classification of open fractures looks at several aspects of the injury not just the size of the wound. • Prescence or absence of neurovascular injury • Degree of contamination (farmyard injuries are grade

Fracture * Bones form the skeleton of the body and allow the body to be supported against gravity and to move and function in the world. Bones also protect some body parts‚ and the bone marrow is the production center for blood products. * Bone is not a stagnant organ. It is the body’s reservoir of calcium and is always undergoing change under the influence of hormones. Parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium levels by leeching calcium from bone‚ while calcitonin has the opposite effect

Compound Fractures A compound fracture‚ also known as open fracture‚ is a fracture of the bone wherein the affected bone penetrates out from the skin and there is laceration of the surrounding soft tissue. A broken bone refers to a fracture‚ in medical terminology. Bone fractures are quite common‚ with people experiencing at least two in their lifetime‚ on an average (Eisenberg‚ 2007). A fracture occurs when the affected bone is subject to a physical force that is stronger than it can sustain. Age

Fracture is a 2007 film revolving around a murder mystery. ‘Willy Beachum (played by Ryan Gosling) is an assistant District Attorney who gets sucked into a game of cat-and-mouse with a sociopath‚ Ted Crawford (played by Anthony Hopkins)‚ set free on legal technicalities after being arrested for attempted murder.’ (Thompson 2007 p.1). Crawford’s’ plan for the perfect murder was motivated by his wife’s secret love affair‚ and resulted in a cold blooded exercise that was cleverly executed. There are

BONE FRACTURES A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force. A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone. They are injuries of bone tissue‚ which compromise their ability to support the body. It can be the result of high force impact or stress‚ or trivial injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones‚ such as osteoporosis‚ bone cancer‚ or osteogenesis imperfecta

The modified two-parameter fracture criterion is an empirical relation developed

Greenstick Fracture A bone fracture is a medical condition where the continuity of the bone is broken. Most bone fractures occur because of high force impact or stress. However‚ medical conditions which weaken the bone may also be the cause of a fracture. A crack (not only break) in the bone is also known as a fracture. Among health care professionals break is a much less common term when talking about bones. However‚ both break and fracture mean that the normal

Recognising fractures and dislocations A fracture is the cracking or breaking of a bone and dislocations are where a bone has been displaced from the point in where it should be. There are different types of fractures with the most common being hairline and compound. Hairline fractures are where there is a very fine line between the segments of the bone that appears when x- rayed. The bone segments will remain in alignment and the fracture may not go fully through. Compound fractures are also known
