Although bone tissue contains no pain receptors, a bone fracture is painful for several reasons: [3] Breaking in the continuity of the periosteum, with or without similar discontinuity in endosteum, as both contain multiple pain receptors. Edema and hematoma of nearby soft tissues caused by ruptured bone marrow evokes pressure pain.
Frequency. 15% (50 year olds), 70% (over 80 year olds) [7] Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass, micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to more porous bone, and consequent increase in fracture risk. It is the most common reason for a broken bone among the elderly. [3]
A tibial plateau fracture is a break of the upper part of the tibia (shinbone) that involves the knee joint. [1] This could involve the medial, lateral, central, or bicondylar (medial and lateral). [3] Symptoms include pain, swelling, and a decreased ability to move the knee. [1] People are generally unable to walk. [2]
A cervical fracture, commonly called a broken neck, is a fracture of any of the seven cervical vertebrae in the neck. Examples of common causes in humans are traffic collisions and diving into shallow water. Abnormal movement of neck bones or pieces of bone can cause a spinal cord injury, resulting in loss of sensation, paralysis, or usually ...
Relative energy deficiency in sport. Relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S) [1][2] is a syndrome in which disordered eating (or low energy availability), [3] amenorrhoea / oligomenorrhoea (in women), and decreased bone mineral density (osteoporosis and osteopenia) are present. [4] It is caused by eating too little food to support the ...
A clavicle fracture, also known as a broken collarbone, is a bone fracture of the clavicle. [1] Symptoms typically include pain at the site of the break and a decreased ability to move the affected arm. [1] Complications can include a collection of air in the pleural space surrounding the lung (pneumothorax), injury to the nerves or blood ...
Orthopedics. Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (from Greek pseudo-, meaning false, and arthrosis, meaning joint).
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes, due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis, or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter; those are conventionally ...
