Can an adult have a buckle fracture?

Although buckle fractures are a common type of pediatric fracture, an adult can get a buckle fracture as well. Basically, a buckle fracture occurs when there is plastic deformation (basically bending leading to compression of the cortex, or outer surface of bone) and a complete fracture of the cortex in the transition area of metaphyseal bone to diaphyseal bone (area where woven bone meets up with sheet-like bone). This happens more often in children because their bones are not mature and the transition area is not as strong as that of a skeletally mature adult. However, the biomechanic characteristics of the transition region can predispose to local failure with a resultant buckle or torus fracture, rather than a transverse fracture, in either children or adults. It just happens much more commonly in kiddos!


How do they repair a vertical break in a bone?

A vertical break in a bone is treated in much the same way as any other fracture. It should be immobilized by casting and preventing from suffering from torque.

Answer:It's been a while since EMT school, but I know it's called a 'closed fracture'. The type of fracture that breaks the skin is know as an 'open fracture'. They used to call it other names, but they've pretty much simplified it since.


How are bone fractures classified?

Classified in 6 waysComminuted - bone fragments into three or more pieces.Compression - Bone is crushed.Spiral - ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone.Epiphyseal - epiphysis separates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal.Depressed - broken bone portion is pressed inward.Greenstick - bone breaks incompletely, much in the way a green twig breaks. only one side of the shaft breaks; the other side bends.

What would cause an adult to have woven or unorganized bone?

In adults woven bone is created after fractures or in Paget's disease. Woven bone is weaker, with a smaller number of randomly oriented collagen fibers, but forms quickly; it is for this appearance of the fibrous matrix that the bone is termed woven. It is soon replaced by lamellar bone, which is highly organized in concentric sheets with a much lower proportion of osteocytes to surrounding tissue.After a fracture, woven bone forms initially and is gradually replaced by lamellar bone during a process known as "bony substitution."


Which bone fractures quickly?

All bones fracture pretty much at the same speed, which is faster than they can resist the forces on them. But, if you are asking which is the easiest and most often broken, then that would be the collarbone or clavicle.


How do you treat dislocations?

You teat a dislocation much like a fracture, with proper medical attention. If it's still dislocated, it has to be re-located. If you have received that much damage, there's a strong possibility that there is tissue damage involved that may require sursery to repair. Without proper medical treatment, it may never heal properly and bother you the rest of your life.
