The head is displaced laterally relative to the shaft. A B OBLIQUE FRACTURE A: Fifth toe proximal phalanx shaft, with lateral angulation and displacement of the distal segment relative to the proximal segment. B: Fourth toe proximal phalanx shaft, with no angulation but slight lateral displacement and possibly shortening. OBLIQUE AND POSSIBLY ROTATED FRACTURE DP view: There is an oblique fracture of the fifth metatarsal involving the distal one-half of the shaft. The distal segment is displaced medially relative to the proximal segment (it is arguable whether or not there is slight medial angulation as well). There also may be slight rotation of the distal segment, but this is very difficult to appreciate (unless you have a vivid imagination!). SPIRAL FRACTURE DISTAL FIBULAR DIAPHYSIS Note that the length of the fracture is much more than twice the width of the diaphysis.

Contents: Osteopenia - Overview Book Reviews Medical Definitions of Osteopenia, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis and Rickets Read my Overview When my doctor pointed out that I was at high risk for osteopenia because of my history of scoliosis and my thin build, I started reading everything I could about osteopenia and osteoporosis prevention and treatment. Out of the many books I looked at that are currently available on the subjects, the books reviewed below are the ones I found the most helpful. In the book Food and Our Bones the author focuses on osteoporosis, but she also also discusses bone health and bone density in general. The book Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis is also intended for people with osteoporosis, but since it covers a variety of bone density treatment factors such as diet, exercise programs, magnesium, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D and zinc, it should also be valuable reading for people with any bone-related health condition such as osteopenia (a precursor condition to osteoporosis), osteomalacia and rickets.

103. 1Rib Stress Fractures: Prevention Exercises Rib stress fractures, like any stress fracture are an overuse injury, secondary to excessive stress on the ribs. They generally occur in the 5th to 9th ribs http://www.row2k.com/physio/ribprev.shtml

Rib Stress Fractures: Prevention Exercises From a Boathouse Doc article, first published in American Rowing magazine, by: Dean Pinciotti, PT Jeff Erickson, MPT Dr. Timothy Hosea, MD Sports Physical Therapy 743 ALEXANDER ROAD, SUITE #2 PRINCETON, NJ 08540 PHONE (609) 419-0455 FAX (609) 419-0023 SPTRehab@aol.com Rib stress fractures, like any stress fracture are an overuse injury, secondary to excessive stress on the ribs. They generally occur in the 5th to 9th ribs and are associated with periods of intensive training, either on the water or on the ergometer. The primary hallmark of prevention is avoiding excessive loading of the ribs, such as rowing long steady state pieces at a low cadence against the current and into the headwind. In conditions such as those, clams may be utilized to "lighten" the load, and prevent excessive stress on the ribs. Likewise on the ergometer, the damper should not be set higher than 3 for long pieces at a low stroke rate. In addition to modifying training techniques, we would recommend a program of rib strengthening exercises incorporated into their circuit training. The exercises are designed to strength the serratus anterior that is an important scapular stabilizer and with the external oblique is a primary source of rib deformation during the rowing stroke. There are four exercises, which we feel would be helpful in strengthening the ribs and preventing stress fractures.

Back to table of contents Clavicle Fractures Fractures of the clavicle are common in pediatrics. Neonatal Period Clavicle fractures occur in 3% of live births. Most are unrecognized and may be diagnosed weeks later during healing when the presence of a hard lump is felt along the clavicular shaft. The presence of a fracture may be recognized by someone present at the delivery hearing a pop, the feeling of crepitance at the fracture site, and an unequal Moro reflex. 5% of clavicle fractures are associated with brachial plexus injuries. Treatment is reassurance and informing the parents that a bump will be felt along the clavicle . Toddlers and Older Children Most fractures are secondary to falls with the arm outstretched or falling on the tip of the shoulder Rarely is there a complete fracture and there may be up to a 2 cm. overlap. The clavicle may also have a greenstick fracture that is overlooked by a radiograph. Comparison views may be necessary to diagnose the fracture. Clinically, the child will present with pain, swelling at the fracture site, the arm dangling, and the shoulder depressed. The medial aspect of the fracture is often elevated by the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A radiograph may not be necessary if the mechanism of injury and physical examination are consistent with a fractured clavicle.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: Treatment for Compression Fractures Resulting from Osteoporosis Innovative Treatments for Compression Fractures Jean-Jacques Abitbol, M.D., FRCSC Orthopaedic Surgeon California Spine Group, MC San Diego, CA, USA Osteoporosis, a disease that gradually weakens bones, causing them to become brittle, affects more than 28 million Americans. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. Along with hip and wrist fractures, severe osteoporosis can cause compression fractures in the spine. This occurs when the bony block, or vertebral body, in the spine collapses causing severe pain, deformity and loss of height. Healthy Spine Compression fractures occur in more than 700,000 patients per year in the United States, are more frequent than hip fractures, and often result in prolonged disability. Until recently, doctors were limited in how they could treat

Orthopaedics Fractures What is a fracture? A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. When a fracture occurs, it is classified as either open or closed: - the bone exits and is visible through the skin, or a deep wound that exposes the bone through the skin. closed fracture (Also called simple fracture.) - the bone is broken, but the skin is intact. Fractures have a variety of names. Below is a listing of the common types that may occur in children: greenstick - incomplete fracture. The broken bone is not completely separated. transverse - the break is in a straight line across the bone. spiral - the break spirals around the bone; common in a twisting injury. oblique - diagonal break across the bone. compression - the bone is crushed, causing the broken bone to be wider or flatter in appearance. comminuted - the break is in three or more pieces. What causes a fracture? Fractures occur when there is more force applied to the bone than the bone can absorb. Bones are weakest when they are twisted. Breaks in bones can occur from falls, trauma, or as a result of a direct blow or kick to the body.

Buy the Book SECTION 3 Medical Conditions CHAPTER 23 Fractures TOPICS Introduction Hip Fractures Compression Fractures of the Spine ~ Shoulder Fractures ~ Wrist Fractures Shoulder Fractures Falling on an outstretched arm can fracture the collarbone (clavicle) or the upper arm bone (humerus) near the shoulder. In addition to feeling pain, people with a shoulder fracture may be unable to move the arm. Treatment For most shoulder fractures, the shoulder is immobilized with a removable device, such as a sling. A removable device is chosen because the shoulder can become permanently stiff within a few days if it is not moved periodically. If the shoulder is badly out of line or if structures that hold the joint together (such as ligaments, bones, or other tissue) are damaged, surgery is usually needed. Surgery (called internal fixation) often involves wires, pins, or screws inserted into the broken bone. If the shoulder joint is damaged too badly, it is replaced with an artificial joint, similar to that used for the hip. After all shoulder fractures, the hand and wrist can and should be used immediately. If a removable device is used, range-of-motion exercises for the shoulder and elbow on the affected side are begun within about a week, sometimes sooner. A physical therapist teaches the person how to do these exercises. After 3 weeks, most people can begin exercises that involve raising the arm. However, the person may not be able to raise the arm overhead to do a task (such as comb the hair) for several months. Arthritis can make rehabilitation more difficult, and people who have it may recover more slowly. Problems such as a frozen shoulder or a tear in the muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place (rotator cuff) can also slow recovery.

Buy the Book SECTION 3 Medical Conditions CHAPTER 23 Fractures TOPICS Introduction ~ Hip Fractures ~ Compression Fractures of the Spine Shoulder Fractures Wrist Fractures Hip Fractures Many older people worry about fracturing a hip. Hip fractures can have serious consequences. A person may be unable to do daily activities, may be unable to live independently, or may develop a serious disorder leading to death. To help prevent hip fractures, people can become or continue to be active. Being active strengthens muscles and bones. It also improves the chances of a good recovery if a hip fracture occurs. Other precautions can also help. In the United States, about 350,000 people fracture a hip each year. About 9 out of 10 hip fractures occur in people over 60. Hip fractures are much more common among women. Types and Causes The bones may be broken in different ways. The broken bone may remain in place (aligned or nondisplaced) even if the bone is cracked all the way through. The ends of the broken bone may be separated (displaced). Or one end may be jammed (impacted) into the other. Most hip fractures result from a fall. However, when osteoporosis or another disorder has weakened the bone, a hip fracture may result from the stresses of ordinary activity (such as getting in and out of a chair).

117. Taking A Break From Fractures: A Closer Look At Vitamin D While vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of bone fracture in the elderly, a study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-08/tu-tab080905.php

Public release date: 9-Aug-2005 E-mail Article Contact: Siobhan Gallagher Tufts University Taking a break from fractures: A closer look at vitamin D The latest information coming from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University With an aging population, and with people living longer, experts say bone fractures will become a bigger and more costly problem unless more is done to prevent them. Osteoporosis (reduced bone mineral density) is most common in older adults, particularly women. It is a major risk factor for bone fractures, which can cause significant suffering while carrying high economic costs. While vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of fracture in the elderly, a study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) raises the question of how much vitamin D is enough. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin D for older adults is between 400 and 600 International Units (IU) per day. In their review of the existing literature, a team of scientists including senior author Bess Dawson-Hughes, MD, director of the Bone Metabolism Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition and Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, found that this dose was not effective in reducing nonvertebral fracture rates among study participants. The researchers concluded, though, that higher daily doses, in the range of 700 to 800 IU, may reduce the risk of fracture by approximately 25 percent. Dawson-Hughes and her colleagues analyzed the results of seven experimental trials that all compared fracture rates among subjects 60 years of age and older given vitamin D supplements (with or without calcium supplements) to those among similar subjects given only calcium or placebo. Each study lasted between one and five years, and looked specifically at hip fractures or other fractures that did not involve the spine. The researchers found that only subjects receiving higher doses of vitamin D supplementation had significantly fewer fractures than did subjects in the comparison groups.

120. Fractures In Cheese Learn how fractures grow by pulling on a piece of cheese Now when you pull on the cheese, fractures will begin to propagate from each of these defects. http://www.madsci.org/experiments/archive/871082838.Es.html

MadSci Network Edible/Inedible Experiments Archive Fractures in cheese Area of Science: Earth Sciences Meant for at least Grade K-3 (age 5-7). This experiment is edible. An adult need not be present. Overview: Learn how fractures grow by pulling on a piece of cheese Equipment: Pre-sliced American cheese (the smooth, unnaturally yellow stuff that comes individually wrapped in plastic) works best Safety: Don't eat the cheese if you're lactose intolerant! How to do the experiment: First, take a slice of cheese and pull on the edges. It should tear apart. Eat it. Get a new slice. Now, make a small incision in the middle of the cheese slice with your fingernail or a butterknife, parallel to the edge of the cheese slice. Then pull on the two cheese edges parallel to the incision (so that you're pulling in a direction perpendicular to the incision). Watch how the small defect you've introduced into the cheese slice concentrates the tearing. Observe the shape of the propagating fracture, especially the pointed tips where the tearing is taking place, and how the fracture tips move faster as the fracture gets bigger. Eat the torn up slice and get a new one. Now try repeating this, only this time make two incisions near the middle of the cheese, maybe about an inch apart, and make them offset diagonally from each other (see picture below). Now when you pull on the cheese, fractures will begin to propagate from each of these defects. As the tips of these fractures begin to propagate past each other, they will begin to curve toward each other, and eventually link up into a single fracture.
