Fractures come in many sizes and forms. At what angle the bone is affected, the strength of the impact, and how the bone shatters, all determine the kind of fracture one has.
Hairline fractures or stress fractures are small cracks in the bone. They could also occur when a bone is bruised. They are usually caused by repetitive actions where the bone doesnβt have enough time to heal.
They differ from other fractures in that they develop over some time as opposed to being caused by an immediate blow.
The feet and legs are especially prone to developing hairline fractures as they constantly absorb a lot of impacts. Athletes who do sports that involve running or jumping regularly are more at risk of developing hairline fractures.
Hairline fractures though donβt just affect athletes. They could affect anyone.
Ranka Hospital, Pune provides facilities for hairline fractures.
if not bandaged in an appropriate manner, a hairline facture can worsen. Measures should be taken such that the affected part is not used to do any work for atleast the first week. An orthopaedician should be consulted.
not really,but at times go with stress and movement it might cause real fracture
nope
just a wrap so you could keep it in place.
yes, infact later in your life this could put strain on that area making it difficult to perform some tasks
Yes
Yes.
How long a cast is on depends on the location of the hairline fracture. In sensitive areas the cast will need to be worn longer.
Yes..You Can Get A Cast For Just A Hairline Fracture It Still Means You Have A Fracture (break) And A Cast Will Be Used To Mend The Bones because however serious It Is The Fracture Will Need To Be Mended Hope This Helps
no
segond fracture of the knee the surgery
The actual damage done by carpel tunnel surgery surgery is generally healed within a couple of weeks. However the body's repairs to the damage that has taken place to the median nerve can run into months and may possibly never return to normal. strength returns to the muscles in the hands and fingers very quickly if they were not weakened to badly.
Take it to the hospital or doctor and find out
To be certain, you need an X-ray and a radiologist/doctor to read the film and give you a diagnosis.
It depends on how susceptible it is to being hit again and whether moving your joint would make it worse.
The are very few reasons why a person might need forehead surgery unless it was to correct a congenital malformation of the skull. However an individual may wish to have forehead surgery for cosmetic reasons in order to increase or decrease the hairline.
In my opinion a wrist fracture would definetely require medical attention. There are so many bones in your wrist that it will need a doctor to look at to make sure that you don't need surgery.
Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.
A hairline fracture of the wrist will not always need to be immobilized. If there is no displacement of the bones, the wrist will heal perfectly without casting. You may find greater comfort using a stiff brace rather than nothing, and the brace is far more comfortable, hygienic and better for the skin than a plaster cast. Your doctor will need to see x-rays to determine if the break needs casting or not. Without the cast you will need to exercise caution since the bone is already weakened, but with normal usage as you can bear it the wrist will heal in the same amount of time as with a cast. See your doctor and have x-rays in any event.
