Scaphoid Fractures Causes of Wrist Pain Scaphoid Bone fractures Causes of Wrist Pain Carpal Tunnel Frequently, scaphoid fractures are not visible on an initial xray. http://www.wristhand.com/scaphoid.html
Extractions: The scaphoid fracture is the second most common broken bone in the wrist area. The scaphoid is one of the eight small carpal bones present between the wrist joint and the fingers ( see illustrations at left ). Frequently, scaphoid fractures are not visible on an initial x-ray. In comparison to other bones, scaphoid bones are particularly delicate, because they have a notoriously poor blood supply. When the scaphoid bone is struck, the already poor blood supply to the bone is damaged, which interrupts the flow of healing nutrients carried by your blood. This reduced blood supply has a negative effect on the healing process, and a fracture or break in the scaphoid bone frequently occurs.

Stress fractures usually take time to develop and the symptoms are pain, redness and swelling. X-rays are usually only positive after about three weeks of symptoms. In some cases, a bone scan is necessary to make the diagnosis. Again, treatment for this condition, like most conditions of the foot, requires immobilization, ice and compression.

Extractions: 1638 Owen Dr. Fayetteville, NC 28304 (910) 609-4000 Heart Cancer Women Men ... All Health Topics A-Z The human body contains 206 bones. They are made of strong material, but even tough stuff can break if enough force is applied. When a bone breaks, it is called a fracture. Fracture facts According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) fractures are among the most common orthopedic complaints, with approximately 7 million broken bones each year in the U.S. AAOS says men are more likely to experience fractures than women until about age 45. After that fracture rates are higher among women. (Read about " Age and Bone Loss ") AAOS says the most common fracture prior to age 75 is called a colles fracture (just above the wrist); in the elderly, hip fractures become the most common. (Read about " Hip Fractures ") The Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology (SCVIR) says that osteoporosis causes 700,000 fractures of the vertebrae each year.

Keats, MD VOL 111 / NO 2 / FEBRUARY 2002 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives The authors disclose no financial interest in this article. Preview : Most stress fractures can be diagnosed and treated by primary care physicians in a straightforward manner. However, it is important to be able to distinguish between injuries that heal with rest and injuries that put the patient at high risk for long-term morbidity. In this article, Drs Perron, Brady, and Keats describe how certain clues from history taking and physical examination can lead to the correct diagnosis and treatment. An earlier article by the authors (September 2001) presented general information on stress fractures.

Extractions: The mandible (lower jaw) is a frequent site for fractures (breaks) due to accidents, assaults or sometimes underlying pathology (disease). Just as with other bones in the body, there are a myriad of methods for repairing this broken bone. We characterize fractures as being open , that is, exposed to air inside the mouth or outside the facial skin or closed , that is, completely covered by soft tissue . Fractures can further be characterized as complete (the bone is broken completely into two or more pieces) or incomplete (the bone behaves like a green stick, fracturing only partway through and bending on the opposite side). Finally if the fracture is composed of many pieces it is termed " comminuted ". There are three steps in the repair of most fractures. 1.Reduction of the fracture - This step involves realigning the bony parts in their original anatomic relationship. Temporary holding devices may be utilized to assist in this endeavor. Reduction may be accomplished in an open (the fracture is visibly inspected) or closed (the fracture is not visualized) fashion. 2. Fixation of the fracture
SCAPHOID FRACTURES - FAQ Unlike the forearm, hand, and finger bones, fractures of the scaphoid almost never Although this is the optimum time for treating scaphoid fractures, http://www.arthroscopy.com/sp04013.htm
Extractions: If you have a scaphoid fracture of your wrist, there are probably a lot of questions you have regarding this problem. This sheet is designed to answer the most commonly questions asked by patients. The scaphoid and navicular are two names for the same bone. This small bone is entirely within the wrist joint. (The navicular is now used almost exclusively to describe a bone in the foot). In adolescents and young adults, fracture of this bone is the most common fracture around the wrist. Men are ten times more likely to fracture this bone than women. Although the bone is small, it takes a lot to break it. Oddly enough, twice as much force is required to break the scaphoid bone as to break one of the bigger forearm bones. Because of this, most patients who have broken their scaphoid have done it while participating in sports, such as football, basketball, riding a motorcycle or in an automobile accident. Usually the patient falls on the outstretched hand and hyperextends the wrist joint. What is so special about this fracture?

Extractions: Replacement of endogenous with exogenous oestrogen reduces the risk of hip fracture, as a large case-control study from Sweden shows [1]. All hip fractures between late 1993 and early 1995 in women born in 1914 or after in six Swedish counties covering about 4.3 million people were found from hospital discharge records. After excluding those for which there was an obvious cause (trauma, dementia, cancer etc) there were 1644 cases. Controls (over 3000) were women born in Sweden randomly selected from a population register. Cases were sent a comprehensive questionnaire about three months after the fracture. Controls were sent the same questionnaire. This asked about reproductive history and use of exogenous oestrogens, including oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy, as well as demographic, dietary and other questions. Eighty-two percent of women answered the questionnaires. The main results are shown in the Table. Compared with never users, there was a substantial decrease in fracture risk with ever users of replacement therapy, though this came predominately from the reduced risk for current users. For current users there was a 9% decrease in risk of hip fracture for every year of use. Five years after the last use of hormone replacement therapy no substantial protective effect against hip fracture remained, though a protective effect was seen in the five years after use of hormones when they had been used for at least five years (Table).

TEMPORAL BONE FRACTURES April 2, 1992 Temporal bone fractures may cause a variety of signs and symptoms. These include hearing loss, vertigo, facial paralysis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorhinorrhea, tympanic membrane (TM) perforation, hemotympanum, canal wall laceration, and Battle's sign. Adults and children are similarly affected but several series have found that the complication rate is lower in children. Fractures of the temporal bone are commonly classified based on the relationship of the fracture line to the long axis of the temporal bone. Longitudinal fractures are the most common accounting for 80% of the temporal bone fractures. This fracture extends along the length of the temporal bone. Transverse fractures extend directly across the petrous bone and make up about 10% of temporal bone fractures. Mixed fractures display some characteristics of each.

Naso-orbital-ethmoid Fractures January 7, 1993 A facial fracture is considered a naso-orbital-ethmoid (NOE) fracture if the fracture involves the bone to which the medial canthal tendon is attached. It is important to distinguish NOE fractures from isolated nasal fractures, orbital rim fractures, and fractures which involve only the ethmoid labyrinth. The medial canthal tendon provides globe support as part of a suspensory sling, which is in continuity with the lateral canthal tendon, and upper and lower tarsal plates. The tendon is also intimately associated with the lacrimal drainage apparatus. The main structural buttresses of the region are the frontal processes of the maxilla: these represent "pillars" to which other structures are attached.
