Depends what you mean by damaged. If you mean broken they sometimes use whats called an internal fixator this can include a rod through the center of the bone (usually in femurs or the tibia) Another way they internally do it is with a plate, that is kinda like the ones they use for lumber work. Its a thin metal piece with holes for screws which old the piece of the bones together. Sometimes if the pieces are small they will use what is called a pin which is a metal rod the diameter of a paperclip and they put that through the broken piece into the larger piece of bone. They are called internal fixators because once the skin is closed you cant see them and they dont come out. There are also external fixators which looks like an erector set. It is up to the orthopedist to decide which type he wants to use, but an external one has at least 2 posts about the diameter of a pencil and it is drilled through the skin into the bone and connected with a carbon fiber rod on the outside of the body, once the bone is healed the connectors and posts are taken out. But it also depends on the bone that is broken. A broken collor bone, rib, humerus, tail bone, fingers and toes they normally do not do surgery on.
A bone scrape is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon removes damaged or infected tissue from the surface of a bone to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used in orthopedic surgeries to treat conditions such as arthritis or osteomyelitis.
BMT stands for Bone Marrow Transplant, not a blood test. It is a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells, which can be used to treat certain cancers and other disorders of the blood and immune system.
Bone marrow transplantation is a medical procedure where tissue containing undifferentiated blood cells from bone marrow is infused into a patient to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow. This procedure is often used in the treatment of certain cancers, such as leukemia.
Currently, the parts of the body that can be replaced with cells include skin, blood, and bone marrow. Skin grafts can be used to replace damaged skin, blood transfusions can replace blood cells, and bone marrow transplants can be performed to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow. However, the ability to completely replace complex organs or tissues like the heart or liver with cells is still a developing field of research.
Bone marrow is a red compound found at the centre of large bones in the body. It helps the body to make blood cells and have immunity against diseases. A bone marrow donor has a small operation, where a small hole is made in their hip bone. Some bone marrow is removed, under local anaesthetic. This bone marrow is then given to the bone marrow recipient.
A cast us used to stop you from moving the limb with the damaged bone in it. This assures that the bone heals straight and in the correct position.

Yes, "fractured" and "broken" are often used interchangeably to describe a bone that is cracked or damaged. Both terms can be used to refer to a bone that has experienced a break or disruption in its structure.
Calcium sulfate is used in hospitals as a bone void filler in orthopedic surgeries. It helps to support bone growth and repair in areas where bone has been removed or damaged, promoting healing and stability.

Knee osteotomy is used where arthritis has caused joint and bone damage. The process involves removing or adding bone to the tibia or femur to shift body weight off the damaged area.

Yes, you can keep your clothes on for a bone mineral density test. There is no need to change into a gown for this test. The equipment used for the test can typically accommodate clothing without affecting the results.
people not movement If a person does not keep moving - their muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons will have a tendency to shorten and stiffen. Then when the joint is moved - it will hurt as all parts are stiff and not used to moving.
