What type of bone fracture results from a major blow?
A transverse fracture, where the bone breaks in a straight line perpendicular to its long axis, is likely to result from a major blow. This type of fracture is often seen in situations of high impact trauma.
How would you describe a fracture?
Fracture means a type of break. Not the same as a broken bone. A broken bone is when the bone snaps and the two peices of bone come apart. A fracture is when the bone breaks but does not come apart/disconnect.
Transverse process fracture symptoms?
From my experience, it hurts on the side it broke on mostly. The transverse process are the wings that stick out from the vertebre. These are the spots on the spine where muscles and other tissue connect. Standing and sitting still seems to keep the pain at bay. Movement on the other hand causes sharp pains to shoot from the spot down my spine. Laying seems to cause major discomfort. I'm not a doctor, just someone who recent had a transverse process fracture. Hope this helps you out.
What is the treatment for a fractured transverse process fracture?
Pain managment. I broke my L2-4 transverse processes and that all they did for me. 2yrs later I am still having issues with my back. I've gone for injections with little comfort. Next step is an appointment with the surgeon.
