What is a nondisplaced fracture involving the greater tuberosity?
nondisplaced fracture//the bone cracks with the broken peices still in alignment.
Tuberosity//knoblike process.
Process// prominant projection.
There are many tuberosities on many of our bones. When you say greater, I assume it is in the femur, the "Greater Trochanter"? The femur has a gluteal tuberosity below the Greater Trochanter. Either way its a cracked bone where the tuberosity is or was.
displaced
A few weeks or a month.
displaced fracture
Any kind of fracture that is possible to be imagined, from a greenstick incomplete nondislocated fracture to a comminuted open severely displaced fracture. The more common fractures are mid-diaphyseal (mid-shaft) fracture of the femur and the tibia, both open and closed, often displaced due to muscular contraction in reponse to trauma.
manipulation
About 3 months(12 weeks)
The Lisfranc fracture, also known as the Lisfranc injury, Lisfranc dislocation, is an injury of the foot in which one, or all, of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus.
A non-displaced fracture of the pinky toe refers to a break in the bone of the toe where the bone cracks but does not move out of its normal position. In other words, the bone remains aligned and in its proper place, even though it has fractured. Read More..... shorturl. at/iZl3Y
Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.
10 - 12 weeks. If you don't do light exercises along with it it could take up to 6 months to heal.
Healing time for a non-displaced fracture of the greater tuberosity of the humerus typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. The exact duration can vary based on factors such as age, overall health, and adherence to rehabilitation protocols. During this period, immobilization and gradual rehabilitation exercises are often recommended to restore strength and mobility. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor healing progress.
I recently sustained a pelvic fracture to my right ischium. I was told it is a non-displaced fracture and that I am looking at a 6-8 week recovery time. This happened a week ago and I have spent the majority of the past week in bed and when I am up, I have been using crutches so that I am not putting weight on my pelvis. I have also been taking Oxycodone and Hydrocodone with the pain around the clock for the past week.
