    In part, these include severe sacroiliac pain with transient “pain paralysis” (of one or both legs), [61] transient respiratory distress, [61] a significant adverse cardiovascular event, [62] spinal fracture with hemothorax, [63] lower extremity fracture, [64] [65] glenoid fracture, [66] shoulder dislocation, [67] and pseudoaneurysm.

  3. Open fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_fracture

    Early fracture immobilisation and fixation helps to prevent further soft tissue injury and promotes wound and bone healing. This is especially important in the treatment of intraarticular fractures where early fixation allows early joint motion to prevent joint stiffness. Fracture management depends on the person's overall well-being, fracture ...

  4. Orthopedic cast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopedic_cast

    Long leg cast for tibial fracture. A long leg cast extends from the upper thigh to the toes, immobilizing the knee joint as well as the lower leg and ankle. It is typically used for injuries requiring stabilization across multiple joints, such as tibial or fibular fractures, severe knee injuries, or post-surgical recovery.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(orthopedics)

    Buck's traction, involving skin traction. It is widely used for femoral fractures, low back pain, acetabular fractures and hip fractures. [2] Skin traction rarely causes fracture reduction, but reduces pain and maintains the length of the bone. [2] Dunlop's traction – humeral fractures in children; Russell's traction; Halo-gravity traction

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilizarov_apparatus

    In medicine, the Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation apparatus used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or to reshape the damaged bones of an arm or a leg; used as a limb-sparing technique for treating complex fractures and open bone fractures; and used to treat an infected non-union of bones, which cannot be surgically resolved.

  7. Tibia shaft fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibia_shaft_fracture

    Tibia shaft fracture is a fracture of the proximal (upper) third of the tibia (lower leg bone). Due to the location of the tibia on the shin, it is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body. Due to the location of the tibia on the shin, it is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body.

  8. Traction splint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_splint

    A traction splint most commonly refers to a splinting device that uses straps attaching over the pelvis or hip as an anchor, a metal rod(s) to mimic normal bone stability and limb length, and a mechanical device to apply traction (used in an attempt to reduce pain, realign the limb, and minimize vascular and neurological complication) to the limb.
