STRESS FRACTURES IN FEMALE RUNNERS
Online health report from Dr. Gabe Mirkin on common injury of women runners stress fractures.
http://www.drmirkin.com/archive/6635.html

Extractions: STRESS FRACTURES IN FEMALE RUNNERS Report #6635 Forty-five percent of competitive female runners develop stress fractures, small cracks on the surface of the bones in their legs and feet. The women most likely to suffer these injuries are those who restrict food and those who have irregular periods. Restricting food can stop a woman from menstruating regularly, which can stop her body from producing the female hormone, estrogen. Lack of estrogen weakens bones. Exercise does not cause irregular periods, not eating enough food does. Women who stop menstruating when they exercise heavily will usually start to menstruate regularly when they eat more food. Some women who suffer stress fractures will not heal until they take estrogen or other bone strengthening medications such as etidronate. Stress fractures usually start out as a minor discomfort in the foot or leg, that occurs near the end of a long run. Usually the pain goes away as soon as the athlete stops running. On the next day, the pain returns earlier in the run. If she notices that it hurts to touch just one spot on a bone and then stops running for a week, she can return to running quickly, but usually she ignores the pain and develops a full- blown stress fracture and hurts all the time. She now has to avoid the hard pounding of running, but can ride a bike or swim for exercise until the fracture heals in 6 to 12 weeks. The most common sites for stress fractures are the bones in the front of the feet, and the long bone of the lower leg, but running can cause stress fractures anywhere, even in the pelvic bones. I often prescribe bone strengthening medications such as Fosamax or Evista to people with stress fractures that do not heal in six months.
Falls And Hip Fractures, Facts - NCIPC
Article from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/falls.htm

Extractions: What outcomes are linked to falls? In 2001, more than 11,600 people ages 65 and older died from fall-related injuries (CDC 2003). More than 60% of people who die from falls are 75 and older (Murphy 2000). Of those who fall, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries such as hip fractures or head traumas that reduce mobility and independence, and increase the risk of premature death (Sterling 2001). Among people ages 75 years and older, those who fall are four to five times more likely to be admitted to a long-term care facility for a year or longer (Donald 1999).
Stress Fractures In Female Athletes
An article discussing stress fractures (like shin splints) occurring more often in female athletes than male athletes.
http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/979332792.html

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Stress fractures have two primary causes. They result from excessive bone strain resulting in microdamage to the bone coupled with an inability to keep up with appropriate repair of the bone, or a depressed response to normal strain at the cellular and molecular levels where bone remodeling occurs. The former occurs most often in otherwise healthy female athletes and military recruits, while the latter is likely to occur with other physical problems, such as osteoporosis. There were 2.4 million high school girls competing in sports in 1997, an 800% increase over 1971. And stress fractures occur more often in female athletes than male athletes. The risk of stress fractures in female recruits in the US military is up to 10 times higher than men undergoing the same training program. There are many contributing factors to the greater frequency of stress fractures in women. Male athletes may have greater muscle mass, which absorbs shock better. In a study of female athletes, decreased calf girth was a predictor of stress fractures of the tibia. The larger width of male bones may also absorb shock better.

http://kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure/aches/broken_bones.html

Extractions: Your bones are tough stuff - but even tough stuff can break. Like a wooden pencil, bones will bend under strain. But if the pressure is too much, or too sudden, bones can snap. You can break a bone by falling off a skateboard or crashing down from the monkey bars. When a bone breaks it is called a fracture (say: frak -chur). There's more than one way to break or fracture a bone. A break can be anything from a hairline fracture (a thin break in the bone) to the bone that's snapped in two pieces like a broken tree branch.

Distal Humerus Fractures - Supracondylar Fractures
Article by Alan S. Miller, MD describing one of most common fractures of the elbow in the 3 11 year old child.
http://www.embbs.com/ortho/suprc.html

Extractions: by Alan S. Miller, M.D. Supracondylar fractures are the most common fractures about the elbow in children with this fracture occurring most commonly in the 3 - 11 year old child. The usual mechanism is for the child to fall with an extended elbow causing posterior displacement (extension type fracture - 95% of displaced supracondylar fractures). Twenty to thirty percent of all supracondylar fractures exhibit little or no displacement and approximately twenty five percent of supracondylar fractures are of the greenstick type. The collateral ligaments and the anterior capsule in children are quite strong thus ligamentous tears without fractures are quite rare. Children who present with nondisplaced supracondylar fractures may initially have minimal swelling. The young child may present with vague pain so that the differential diagnosis may include nursemaid's elbow, occult fractures of the radial head, condyle fractures or a septic joint. Children with supracondylar extension fractures may have a prominent olecranon with the distal humeral fragment palpated posteriorly and superiorly because of the pull of the posterior tricep muscle. Patients with a supracondylar flexion fracture may carry their elbow flexed with loss of the olecranon prominence. Pearls in elbow X - rays: a. Consider a displaced anterior fat pad or the presence of a posterior fat pad on a lateral elbow X - ray to be consistent with a fracture until proven otherwise.
Cervical Spine Fractures

http://www.hughston.com/hha/a.cspine.htm

Extractions: Cervical Spine Fractures The human spine comprises 24 vertebrae, or small bones containing the spinal cord. These vertebrae are grouped into three sections according to location: cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (middle back), and lumbar spine (lower back). Soft tissues, such as ligaments (tissues that connect bones), muscles, and skin, surround and support the spine. Seven vertebrae form the cervical spine. This section of the spine connects the base of the head to the thorax (trunk and shoulders) and, with the help of soft tissues, supports the head. A fracture (break) of the cervical spine is commonly referred to as a broken neck. Most injuries that involve the neck or cervical spine are the result of a violent collision that compresses the cervical spine against the shoulders. This force can be so great that a vertebra fractures or even bursts into small fragments (Fig. 2, normal C-spine; Fig. 3, fractured C5) . For example, striking your head against the bottom of a pool in shallow water or spear" tackling using the crown of your helmet to stop an opposing football player can fracture the cervical spine (Fig. 4)
