Bone Pain and Fractures

include simple, compound, incomplete and complete. Simple fractures (more recently called "closed") are not obvious as the skin has not been ruptured and remains intact

Moderate burns may heal in 10-14 days and may leave scarring.

While there are some set value amounts in worker's comp cases, the total amount of money, in any situation involving wrongful injury, can and will vary. Not only by state and locality, but by the person injured, what attorney you have, who injured you, etc.

A personal injury attorney in your area will be more than happy to assess your case for free and let you know what it is worth. A less confrontational approach is to ask the insurance agent for the other side what they think it is worth. Then tell them you will settle for that plus ten percent. That will save you the attorney's 33 to 40 percent fee.

fracture involving the presence of an isolated bone fragment. This is also frequently called an avulsion fracture.

A single fracture means that one fracture only has occurred and multiple fractures refer to more than one fracture occurring in the same bone

Normally that will take three to six weeks.

I just broke my knuckle last Saturday. The doc. put me in a cast for 4 weeks.

Yes, since your wrist is one of the most delicate and used parts of your arm you must have a cast so you don't 'accidently' use it and hurt it or reinjure it.

Hinge fracture of skull is a basilar fracture of skull involving middle cranial fossa & pituitary fossa dividing the base of the skull into an anterior and posterior segments. Its associated with blows to the chin as sustained by boxers or motorcyclists who fall on the road surface striking the chin

Well, usually, it doesn't get the chance to heal, due in part to the fact that the recipient is kind of...dead.

Broken bones are not a dismemberment. To have a broken neck considered a dismemberment, the head would have been separated from the rest of the body.

Put ice on it and if it doesn't go down go to the hospital to have it X rayed because it could be broken. I fell recently and thought my hand was broken, but it was only sprained. That was several weeks ago and it still gives me problems so it may take your knuckle a bit to feel better.

From a first-aid standpoint, it usually doesn't matter if it's a fracture or a sprain, as the first aid is the same. Immobilize the extremity, elevate, ice-pack if you have it, and get it looked at someplace where there's an X-ray machine. Unless the break is very obvious (bone protruding from the skin; notable distortion in the shape of the finger, etc.), it's very hard to tell in the field, and X-rays are your best bet.

Assuming the bone was set right (if it wasn't, the misalignment may be the cause), the lump is part of the natural process of bone-healing. The bone will form a clot around the break, which then solidifies by basically growing into bone. The resulting lump stays where it grow and makes that point stronger than before.

The most important thing in treatment of a tibial plateau fracture is realizing it is there. Tibial plateau fractures are notoriously difficult to diagnose since they may not show up on an X-ray early on. Clues a tibial plateau fracture may be present include high-force mechanism of injury, more swelling than would be expected, or pain out of proportion to what you would expect on exam.

As noted, identification may be difficult, so if there is high clinical suspicion with an apparently negative plain X-ray, a CT (or MRI) may be needed to identify the fracture.

Once diagnosed, the knee should be immobilized in consult with an orthopedist. In most cases, outpatient follow up is appropriate with appropriate analgesia, immobilization and non-weight bearing until follow up is achieved.

Pitfalls: tibial plateau fractures have a higher than normal incidence of compartment syndrome given the amount of force required to fracture the tibial plateau. Keep this in mind when making this diagnosis and be alert for signs of compartment syndrome.

wack people in the arm or head with the cast you cold draw on it but the best thing is if you still go to school you could get out of it by saying your arm hurts lol!!

that will depend upon several factors, not limited to: the cause of the spasm, the exact muscle in spasm, the overall health and fitness of the patient, permitting ample healing time, whether or not an anti-inflammatory (NSAID) or analgesic used to treat the symptoms...They can be short term lasting only a day or so, but left untreated, un-rested, can go on chronically.

There is no particular part of a bone that is prone to breaking. It's more a matter of the type of injury.

Surgical reconstruction may be required if the fracture changes the position of the eye or there is other facial deformity. Treatment requires a maxillofacial surgeon.

I have the same thing but when you find out let me know...

It depends on the severity of the break.

A buckle fracture is a fracture in which there is incomplete loss of integrity of the bony cortex, frequently caused by a compressive force. These are also called a Torus fracture. They are treated by splinting or casting for about 3-4 weeks. These tend to heal quickly.
