I think it would be best to just break this down....subchondral..........situated beneath cartilage <subchondral bone>insufficiency..........inability of an organ or body part to function normally fracture.............the act or process of breaking or the state of being broken and or the breaking of hard tissue (as bone) Fractures of the Talar Head Talus fractures are relatively uncommon injuries, but can be associated with significant complications. The talus is involved in about 2% of all lower extremity injuries and about 5-7% of foot injuries. It is the most important bone of the foot to stabilize and mobilize soon after injury. Talus fractures are usually associated with hyperdorsiflexion of the ankle as the talar neck impacts the anterior margin of the tibia, such as in a motor vehicle accident or fall from height. The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula in the ankle mortise and the calcaneous and navicular inferiorly. Body weight is transmitted through the tibia to the superior surface of the talus. The anterior portion of the body is wider than the posterior portion giving stability to the ankle. The neck of the talus connects to the head which connects to the navicular and calcaneous and is the most vulnerable to fracture. The talus has no muscular or tendinous attachments, but has a groove for the flexor hallicus longus tendon. The majority of the talus is covered by articular cartilage. It articulates with the spring ligament inferiorly, the sustentaculum tali posteroinferiorly and the deltoid ligament medially.
Yes
The radial head may be fractured by direct violence such as fall or blow on the side of the elbow,means in vulgus position.The fracture mostly seen in 4 types ,1.split fracture of the head of radius2.marginal fracture of head of radius3.communuted fracture4.fracture in the neck of radiusThe 4th one mostly in children,because in children the epiphysis is cartilage[spongy type bone].so have more chance for fracture.
Its brain tremor due to head injury like skull fracture.
CPT 24650 is for closed treatment of a radial head or neck fracture.
A hip fracture generally refers to the fracture of the head or neck of the femur (thigh) bone. There are several different areas that can suffer a fracture and still be called a hip fracture. For example, a fracture to the greater or lesser trochanters of the femur are also commonly called hip fractures by the general public.
The very top of the spine. I think.
Hip fractures are common. Usually the head of the femur.
They do get injured. You can break your neck, fracture bones in your neck, click your neck etc. You can have head injuries from car crashes or everyday accidents.
A bump is better if it forms a "hill" rather than a "valley" The Valley may be a skull fracture and more serious than just a bump. See the doctor right now for a possible fracture.
A fracture of the cribriform plate, which is part of the ethmoid bone located at the base of the skull, can lead to the loss of smell, a condition known as anosmia. This type of fracture can damage the olfactory nerves that transmit smell signals from the nasal cavity to the brain. Such injuries often occur in cases of severe head trauma. Additionally, the presence of cerebrospinal fluid leaks may accompany this type of fracture.
a multiple compound fracture caused by sever crushing in a 150mph head on car crash
This called a suture. It is an immovable joint where two bones in the skull meet to form this joint.
