osteoclasis
A spiral fracture is bone breakage caused by a twisting force. They are also known as torsion fractures. Treatment can be months in a cast and possible surgery. The classic example is when skiers lock their boots into the ski and then lose control, the leg may be violently twisted in one direction.
a fracture
A compound fracture is another term for a headline fracture. It refers to a bone fracture where the broken bone pierces the skin, leading to an open wound.
False: osteoclasis is surgical fracture of a bone. Osteosclerosis is abnormal hardening of bone.
A bone graft is a surgical procedure which is done to repair a bone fracture that is not healing properly or one that is detrimental to a person's life. It repairs the bone and makes it stronger.
The right upper arm bone is broken into multiple pieces at the place where that bone is most likely to break.
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?
No, an open procedure does not necessarily mean that a fracture was an open fracture. An open procedure only means that the fracture pieces could not be adequately stabilized for optimal healing without surgical intervention.No, somrtimes a closed fracture is best treated by surgical or open means. Installing screws or rods or plates may be necessary even though the bone never broke through the skin.
a break in the bone is the same as a fracture.
A bone fracture where the bone fragments are driven into each other is called a "Compacted Fracture".
