When a bone in a arm is partially bent and partially broken and is a type of fracture that occurs primarily in children that is called?
Greenstick fracture
Which fracture occurs at the distal end of the radius usually from reaching out to cushion a fall?
The fracture that occurs at the distal end of the radius, often from reaching out to cushion a fall, is known as a Colles' fracture. This type of fracture typically results in a dorsal angulation and often occurs in older adults with osteoporosis. It is characterized by a break in the radial bone just above the wrist. Treatment usually involves immobilization or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
What is acute fractured?
An acute fracture is a break in a bone that occurs quickly, rapidly and usually traumatically. A non-acute fracture is one that occurs over time, often because of repeated physical stress or impact placed on the bone.
What is the clinical manifestation of fracture?
When the fracture occurs then infection develop
When bobby kuhn fell out of a tree the bone in his arm was partially vent and particully broken Dr Grafton described this as what kind of fracture and this type occurs primarily in children?
Greenstick fracture
Why are greenstick fracture more common in children?
Greenstick fractures are more common in children because their bones are softer and more flexible than adult bones. When a child's bone bends under stress, it may crack like a green stick, rather than break completely. The flexibility of children's bones also allows them to absorb more energy before fracturing.
What type of fracture occurs because the bone is diseased?
Pathologic fracture
What type of fracture is considered a partial fracture and is only seen in children?
A partial fracture seen only in children is called a "greenstick fracture." This type of fracture occurs when the bone bends and cracks on one side without breaking completely through, similar to how a young green twig breaks. Children's bones are more flexible than those of adults, making them more susceptible to this type of injury. Greenstick fractures typically heal well with appropriate treatment.
A fracture that is common in children whose bones have relatively more collagen in their matrix and are more flexible than those of adults is?
Greenstick fracture is common in children because their bones have a higher collagen content and are more flexible than adults' bones. This type of fracture occurs when the bone bends and partially breaks, similar to how a green stick would break.
Which type of fracture occurs as the result of a severe twisting motion?
A spiral fracture.
What is a kissing fracture?
A kissing fracture is when two opposing bones in a joint are fractured and touch each other when the joint is moved. It usually occurs in the wrist or ankle. Treatment usually involves realigning the bones and stabilizing them with a cast or surgery.
What fracture occurs when a bone breaks under normal strain?
A pathologic fracture occurs when a weakened bone breaks under normal strain.
