Bone Pain and Fractures

It takes about 3-4 weeks for a broken fingertip to heal. A full finger could take about 6 weeks. Just remember to not use it often.

Depends where the impact is. The temporal plates are quite porous and easily broken, the parietal plates are stronger, and the frontal and occipital plates are the strongest of all. So, the answer can be almost anything, from a moderate tap to a hammer blow.

There are a few different kinds of fractures, too, form slight cracks to holes smashed right through.

No, in fact, Adults learn faster than children because we already have a knowledge of a vast amount of concepts, to which we can apply foreign words to. Ultimately as an adult it depends on how much time as an adult you spend with the language. Children are around their native language all the time from the moment they are born (and arguably while in the womb). A child still will not reach a level of adult, native fluency for several years, whereas if an adult student in a language were to apply him/herself, then a language can be mastered within a few short years.

XRAY

6 weeks

• IT WILL BE SORE FOR A WEEK OR TWO. TAKES A FULL 4-6 WEEKS TO HEAL COMPLETLY

• Even after 6 weeks in a cast and having another x-ray my metatarsal was not completely healed in my foot, but some healing had taken place. I was not allowed to weight bear for 3 of those weeks. It takes several months for complete healing.

4-6 weeks

Radiocarpal refers to the radius and wrist.

There are several reasons why it is so easily broken. First of all, it is the last bone in the body to fully form. Secondly it is the only bone that attaches a very movable joint (shoulder) to a more stable axial attachment to the sternum. So it is vulnerable to major impact as a result of its precarious position attaching the arm to the axial skeleton. In other words, it is the weakest bone of the arm complex, and at the same time most vulnerable to injury. It has the reputation of being the most frequently broken bone in the body.

yes you can, there is just limited amount of movements you can actually do with a cracked shin, you can still walk, but you can not swing around, you dont have enough strenght on that leg to mak that possible. Its really really weak, do not try it, it might get worse.

It wouldn't be good. It would eventually heal but not correctly and you would eventually be worse off. To fix a healed broken bone the doctors will have to break it again to get it to it's correct position.

Normally your bones are kept together at the ends by muscles and joints. If you get injured you might dislocate a shoulder, meaning that your two bones meeting at a joint get slightly separated. As a result your shoulder looks crazy, it hurts and you can barely move it.
A dislocation is when a joint comes out of the space that is is supposed to occupy, like a dislocated shoulder or hip.

If the burns don't require skin grafts (they're 1st or 2nd degree) and the only problem is pigmentation discoloration, you can accelerate the skin replacement process by using Retin A, though using it automatically makes the area more sensitive to sunburn. So it's a 2 way street. In the end it's a personal choice based on the extent of the burns and how you feel. I know my acid burns to my face don't bother me that much, but it's not that easy to see the scars either.

Regardless of whether you use something like RA or plastic surgery, you should make the decision based on how it will affect you psychologically, as that's where the worst damage really is.

That depends on the kind of tissue, the extent of damage, and other factors that you can discuss with your physician.

A compound fracture is when a bone protrudes through the skin.

well the fastest way to heal a broken bone is the only way . the blood around the break hardens and covers the brocken ends of bone, like a scab that forms on your skin when you cut yourself . minerals and bone repairing tissues in the blood and bone start to work . the ends of the bone become soft . Then new bone , called callus , starts to grow from the broken ends . the callus grows between the broken ends of bone and starts to harden .whenit is completely hard , the bone is back to normal ! After the age of 25yrs(approx)bones take longer to heal .You can help it along by eating calcium rich foods like milk or fish.

Coccyx pronounced kok-six

It reminds us that 'way back, we used to have tails, but they just got in the way when walking upright, so they got shorter and shorter over million of years, until just the coccyx remains. Will the coccyx ever disappear in humans? Hmmmm

An orthopedist is a physician who specializes in the treatment of bone diseases and disorders, including fractures. An orthopedist is one kind of doctor who reduces fractures, or realigns to bones to assist in their healing.

It's probably not broken. Apply cool compress and elevate above the heart to control the swelling. If the finger can't be moved easily, and the swelling does not go down, it may then be a broken finger.

The younger you are when you break your clavicle, the less time it takes for the fracture to heal. Children will heal a broken bone in 3 to 4 weeks, teenagers will need 6 to 8 weeks before the broken clavicle completely heals, and adults may take up to four months.

yes you would need a walking cast if you have a broken ankle (New person) Most likely. I just broke my ankle in two spots and had surgery to put two screws in. I had a soft cast for 3 weeks about and then a regular cast for 2 weeks and then I had a walking cast that I COULDN'T walk on for 2 weeks, and after that I got the OK to walk in my walking boot, for probably about three weeks. If you follow everything the doctor says, your process will be much faster and you won't mess up your surgery and have to have surgery again (I.e. Your screws come loose from walking too early and they need to open you again to tighten them)

It depends on your age, health and how bad the break is. Mine broke completely in half, it was somewhat functional at around 6 weeks, and 100% at 8 weeks.
