By Jonas Wilson‚ Ing. Med. Blowout Fractures Fractures that occur within the orbital bones are referred to as blowout fractures. These fractures may affect any of the orbital perimeters‚ namely the floor (i.e. inferior border)‚ the medial wall (i.e. lamina papyracea)‚ the lateral wall and the roof (i.e. superior border). The orbit houses the eyeball and serves primarily to protect our eyes and hold them in their positions. Any force to the face with enough energy and the resultant transmission

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
