  2. Distal radius fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]

  3. 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.

  4. Scaphoid fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_fracture

    The fracture may be preventable by using wrist guards during certain activities. [1] In those in whom the fracture remains well aligned a cast is generally sufficient. [2] If the fracture is displaced then surgery is generally recommended. [2] Healing may take up to six months. [1] It is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. [3]

  5. Percutaneous pinning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_pinning

    This is the usual situation with all displaced fractures of the first metacarpal and of the proximal phalanges of the hand, and of about two thirds of fractures of the distal end of the radius. Percutaneous pinning is considered to be less invasive, faster, and requires less skill compared to open surgery (plate fixation). [1]

  6. Colles' fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colles'_fracture

    The tip of the ulna may also be broken. [4] Treatment may include casting or surgery. [3] Surgical reduction and casting is possible in the majority of cases in people over the age of 50. [5] Pain management can be achieved during the reduction with procedural sedation and analgesia or a hematoma block. [5] A year or two may be required for ...

  7. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    While the bone formation usually spans the entire duration of the healing process, in some instances, bone marrow within the fracture has healed two or fewer weeks before the final remodelling phase. [citation needed] While immobilization and surgery may facilitate healing, a fracture ultimately heals through physiological processes.

  9. Smith's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith's_fracture

    A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1] Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3] Smith's fractures are less common than Colles ...
