What bones potentially could be involved in a fracture of the orbit why do you think orbital fractures are often difficult to fixate surgically with screws and plates?
The eye ball and the eye ball muscles prevent you from doing the same.
What is the medical term meaning multiple broken finger bones?
Phalangeal fractures or fractured Phalanges is the term for multiple broken finger bones.Finger bones are phalanges.Phalangeal fracture
What happened when fracture parts of the body are move?
They could potentially press get stuck in areas where they will prevent blood flow or cut the tissue they move through and cause hemorrhaging
Is a joint a break in the bone?
A joint is a place where bones meet, and often articulate or move. The bones that connect at those joints could be fractured at the joint, so you'd have for example, a fractured ankle. The connecting tissues within joints could be torn or separated, but these aren't bones.
What is a brake in a bone called?
fracture depends what kind of brake could be a compound or hairline fracture but mainly a fracture
Can a fracture kill you?
not really. I had a fracture once it really hurt, but it could not have killed me. Well if you have a fracture and you let it be then it can get worse
What causes a spiral bone fracture with out trauma to bone or body?
Spiral bone fractures, or any fracures for that matter, could be caused by malnourishment of the bones. Weak bones=more breaks and fractures. Bone injury is almost always a result of trauma, however.
What could Germany potentially lose by sinking the Lusitania?
Germany could potentially lose the war for the Americans had now gotten involved on the side of the British (the Allies) strengthening Germany's enemies and brining further challenge for Germany and the Central Powers to claim victory over the Allies.
What is the specific name of a fracture called?
Sometimes, excess pressure is applied to a bone that results in the breaking of the bone, also called a fracture. Fractures are common. Most people suffer from fractures at least once during their lifetime. Children's bones are relatively more flexible and less likely to break. Falls or other accidents that do not cause harm in children can cause complete fractures in older adults. Older adults suffer from fractures more than children because their bones are comparatively brittle.Bone fractures are caused by various reasons. It could be because of a fall from a height, motor accidents and repetitive forces on the bone because of physical activities like running or weightlifting.Different types of bone fractures: -Open Fracture : An open fracture is a fracture where the broken bone is exposed. That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection.Closed Fracture : A closed fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.Simple fracture : The fracture occurs along one line, splitting the bone into two pieces.Multi-fragmentary fracture : In this the bone splits into multiple pieces.Compression Fracture : A compression fracture is a closed fracture that occurs when two or more bones are forced against each other. It commonly occurs to the bones of the spine and may be caused by falling into a standing or sitting position, or a result of advanced osteoporosis.Avulsion Fracture : An avulsion fracture is a closed fracture where a piece of bone is broken off by a sudden, forceful contraction of a muscle. This type of fracture is common in athletes and can occur when muscles are not properly stretched before activity. This fracture can also because of an injury.Impacted Fracture : An impacted fracture is similar to a compression fracture, yet it occurs within the same bone. It is a closed fracture which occurs when pressure is applied to both ends of the bone, causing it to split into two fragments that jam into each other. This type of fracture is common in car accidents and falls.Stress Fracture : It is a common overuse injury. It is most often seen in athletes who run and jump on hard surfaces such as runners, ballet dancers and basketball players.Compression fracture of the spine : It is common in individuals with osteoporosis. Often no identifiable injury causes it. This results in significant pain and disability.Rib fractures : If you experience pain while breathing you probably have a rib fracture. In this condition you also have tenderness and shallow breathing.Complete Fracture : in this the bone fragments separate completely.Incomplete Fracture : in this the bone fragments are still partially joined.Linear Fracture : in this the fracture is parallel to the bone's long axis.Transverse Fracture : in this the fracture is at a right angle to the bone's long axis.Oblique Fracture : in this the fracture is diagonal to a bone's long axis.Spiral Fracture : in this at least one part of the bone has been twisted.Comminuted Fracture : in this the fracture results in several fragments.Compacted Fracture : in this the fracture is caused when bone fragments are driven into each other
What is a compact fracture?
You may mean compound fracture in which the bone crushes in on it do to dual pressure. An example would be falling really hard on your knee, the pressure then counterpressured by the femur results in the bones crushing in on itself. (Or put your fists together & push. If enough pressure is applicated it could result of the crushing of the knuckles.)
Is there such thing as a Mesinew fracture of the ankle?
Could be Maisonneuve.
What harm can come to you if you pull horses tail?
The horse, or the owner, may kick you. Along with the above answer, not only might the horse kick you (Potentially fatal to you). But you could also damage the nerves and spinal bones which could impair the horses ability to move.
