Kevin B. Freedman, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, and colleagues examined records of health plans in 30 states. They identified 1,162 women age 55 and older whose wrists were fractured between 1994 and 1997.

44. Wrist Fractures fractures of these bones in the forearm are the most common wrist fractures in These fractures generally occur during a fall on an outstretched hand. http://www.hughston.com/hha/a.wristfx.htm

Wrist Fractures Fractures of the radius and ulna The wrist joint is made up of the two bones in your forearm (the radius and the ulna) and the many tiny bones in the base of your hand (carpal bones). The radius is the bone on the thumb side of the forearm, and the ulna is the outer bone of the forearm located on the side of the pinky (Fig. 1). Fractures of these bones in the forearm are the most common wrist fractures in all age groups. These fractures generally occur during a fall on an outstretched hand. Children with these fractures may have only a small amount of swelling and deformity (the bone is out of its normal position). In adults, particularly the elderly, fractures near the wrist can cause a large amount of swelling and deformity. (Smith's fracture and Colles' fracture) Treatment The physician's first step in treating anyone with wrist pain after an injury is to obtain and evaluate an x-ray. This will usually be all the testing necessary to tell if a bone is fractured (broken, cracked, chipped, or smashed). Sometimes, however, more testing may be necessary (such as an MRI, CT, or bone scan) to help determine the best form of treatment. The treatment of a wrist fracture varies widely and depends on its location, position, and stability, and how many pieces of broken bone have been created by the injury. Most fractures are treated simply with a cast; sometimes the bone fragments must be gently pushed back to a more normal position before casting. Some fractures are unstable enough that a cast cannot hold the pieces of bone in a normal position for healing, and surgery may then be necessary. Patients with wrist fractures usually do very well, although some may have problems with slight stiffness or loss of motion. Arthritis can also develop sometime in the future, particularly if the smooth, shiny joint surfaces were disrupted by the fracture pieces.

Dennis Revall made the announcement in a statement about his wife's treatment for malignant melanoma. She was hospitalized at St. John's Health Center in the John Wayne Cancer Institute December 11 to begin the aggressive biochemotherapy treatment for her cancer, which had been spreading at "an alarming rate" prior to the start of treatment, according to doctors. "She's doing remarkably well," Revall said. He said doctors believe the fractures are the result of biochemotherapy treatment for a small melanoma tumor on her spine. As the drugs worked, the tumor compressed and the brittle bones fractured slightly. Dr. Kevin Ehrhart, the orthopedic surgeon who performed hip replacement surgery on former President Ronald Reagan January 13 at the same hospital, will be consulting Maureen on her treatment.

Arthritis of the Hand Arthritis of the Base of the Thumb Amputation and Prosthetics Brachial Plexus Injury ... Wrist Sprains Hand Fractures What is a fracture? The hand skeleton is made up of many bones that form its supporting framework. This frame acts as a point of attachment for the muscles that make the wrist and fingers move. A fracture occurs when force is applied to a bone that is enough to break it. When this happens, there is pain, swelling, and decreased use of the injured part. Many people think that a fracture is different from a break, but they are the same (Figure 1). Fractures may be simple with the bone pieces aligned and stable. Other fractures are unstable and the bone tends to displace or shift. Comminuted fractures (shattered bone) usually occur from a high energy force and are often unstable. An open (compound) fracture occurs when a bone fragment breaks through the skin. There is some risk of infection with compound fractures. How does it affect the hand? Fractures (or breaks) often take place in the hand. A fracture can cause pain, stiffness, and loss of movement. Because of the close relationship of bones to ligaments and tendons, the hand may be stiff and weak after the fracture heals. Fractures that involve joint surfaces may lead to early arthritis in those involved joints. How are they treated?

Search this site Approaches To Differential Diagnosis In Musculoskeletal Imaging Michael L. Richardson, M.D. Facial and Mandibular Fractures Facial Fractures The bones of the skull and face collectively make up the most complex area of skeletal real estate in the body. Analysis of the fractured face requires a knowledge of not only normal anatomy, but also of common fracture patterns in the face. Although they represent serious injuries, the workup and treatment of facial fractures is often properly delayed until more pressing problems have been addressed, such as the establishment of an adequate airway, hemodynamic stabilization, and the evaluation and treatment of other more serious injuries of the head, chest and skeleton. Once these problems have been managed, it is time to work up facial fractures. At our institution, high resolution CT is currently the imaging procedure of choice for most facial fractures. The complex anatomy and fractures of the facial bones are shown extremely well by CT, and soft tissue complications can be evaluated to a far greater degree with CT. Therefore, the plain film facial series has taken a back seat to CT in the past few years, and is now used only in certain situations, such as when the facial trauma is very focal (nasal fracture), or when CT is unavailable. However I find it easier to initially teach the anatomy and fracture patterns of the face with plain films. Once these concepts have been grasped by the resident, one can then move on to the axial and coronal anatomy shown by CT.

Search this site Approaches To Differential Diagnosis In Musculoskeletal Imaging Michael L. Richardson, M.D. Fractures Without Significant Trauma The circumstance of fracture without any history of significant trauma is not uncommon. Whenever you get this history, a red flag should pop up in your visual cortex and a bell should go off in your auditory tracts. Generally, the differential diagnosis here is fairly logical. The thing to remember is that a bone needs a reason to break. Usually, that reason is that a substantial force has been applied to the bone. If there is no evidence of such a force, we must look for some other reason. To do this, you must first answer two questions: 1) did the fracture occur through normal or abnormal bone; 2) is there normal or decreased amount of bone present? Once you have answered these two questions, you can use the following handy-dandy flowchart to arrive at the most likely mechanism for the fracture. Fractures through abnormal bone are called "pathological" fractures. Probably the most common cause of this is an underlying tumor, either benign or malignant. However, almost any underlying process of bone that weakens the bone can lead to a pathological fracture. Therefore, one should also consider infection, osteomalacia, and Paget's disease, among other causes.

Home Products Distributors Bio-Med Home Use ... FAQs Ultimate Safety Incorporated There Is NO Substitute For The Leading Edge In Fall Prevention A patient fall is the most common adverse event that occurs in a healthcare facility today. Each year, thousands of patients are injured, many severely, by a fall from their bed or chair. Falls are responsible for 90% of all hip fractures and account for 87% of all fractures among people aged 65 years or older and are the second leading cause of spinal cord and brain injury. Of all fractures from falls, hip fractures cause the greatest health problems and the greatest number of deaths. Three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) Americans sustain hip fractures annually, and the incidence is expected to reach 650,000 by the year 2050. The current annual cost to the U.S. Health care system for acute and chronic care for patients with hip fractures is over $10 billion. That's an average cost exceeding $35,000 per patient. Hip fracture is a major health catastrophe among older patients and the mortality rates are staggering: 24 of all patients die in the 12 months following injury and u nfortunately, many patients who sustain a hip fracture are not able to return to their prior living situations. Commonly, they have a fear of falling, and this influences their ability to care for themselves independently.

56. The Physician And Sportsmedicine: Scaphoid Fractures Certain scaphoid fractures require prolonged immobilization and have an However, 60% to 70% of scaphoid fractures are stable and 90% will heal with http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1996/08_96/gutierez.htm

Office Management of Scaphoid Fractures Greg Gutierrez, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 8 - AUGUST 96 In Brief: A dull, deep pain in the wrist after a fall on an outstretched hand is the hallmark of a scaphoid fracture. Pain with maneuvers that stress the scaphoid can suggest fracture on physical exam. Radiographs are crucial: Determining the location, stability, and orientation of the fracture guides treatment and predicts outcome. Distal fractures and horizontally oriented fractures generally heal well and can be managed by immobilization in a short-arm thumb spica cast. Proximal fractures and vertically oriented fractures have the most morbidity, and open reduction should be considered. When prolonged immobilization is required, range-of-motion and strengthening exercises are prescribed to restore hand function after cast removal. T he scaphoid bone is crucial to the intricate function of the wrist. It endures a myriad of complex forces, including a common injury in active peoplea fall on an outstretched hand, particularly when the wrist is radially deviated. The scaphoid is the most frequently injured carpal bone. In the wrist, only distal radius fractures are more common. Scaphoid injuries are most commonly seen in young men, are often misdiagnosed as sprained wrists, and are rarely seen in children because the distal radial physis usually fails first. Scaphoid fractures have a warranted reputation for needing close attention. Fractures of this bone can be complicated by a tenuous blood supply and a tendency for some of the fractures to be unstable. Certain scaphoid fractures require prolonged immobilization and have an increased risk of poor results. However, 60% to 70% of scaphoid fractures are stable and 90% will heal with prompt diagnosis and proper immobilization (1,2).

Order Copies Online, Quantity: 25(limit) Click to open document as a PDF Preventing Falls and Fractures A simple fall can change your life. Just ask any of the thousands of older men and women who fall each year and break (sometimes called fracture) a bone. Getting older can bring lots of changes. Sight, hearing, muscle strength, coordination and reflexes aren't what they once were. Balance can be affected by diabetes and heart disease, or by problems with your circulation, thyroid or nervous system. Some medicines can cause dizziness. Any of these things can make a fall more likely. A broken bone may not sound so terrible. After all, it will heal, right? But as we get older a break can be the start of more serious problems. The good news is that there are simple things you can do to help prevent most falls. Take the Right Steps Falls and accidents seldom "just happen." The more you take care of your overall health and well-being, the more likely you'll be to lower your chances of falling. Here are a few hints: Have your vision and hearing tested often. Even small changes in sight and hearing can make you less stable. So, for example, if your doctor orders new eyeglasses, take time to get used to them, and always wear them when you should or, if you need a hearing aid, be sure it fits well.
