2. Bone healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

   Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

3. Vertebral compression fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_compression_fracture

   A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra. It may be due to trauma or due to a weakening of the vertebra (compare with burst fracture ). This weakening is seen in patients with osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta , lytic lesions from metastatic or primary tumors , [ 1 ] or infection. [ 2 ]

4. Open fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_fracture

   Open fractures are often caused by high energy trauma such as road traffic accidents and are associated with a high degree of damage to the bone and nearby soft tissue. [1] Other potential complications include nerve damage or impaired bone healing, including malunion or nonunion. The severity of open fractures can vary.

   Here’s the thing about fractures: Healing takes time. It starts with inflammation, then new bone tissue forms, and eventually, the bone remodels. In the early stages, the fracture site can ...

6. Traction (orthopedics) - Wikipedia

   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.

7. Bone fracture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_fracture

   Since bone healing is a natural process that will occur most often, fracture treatment aims to ensure the best possible function of the injured part after healing. Bone fractures typically are treated by restoring the fractured pieces of bone to their natural positions (if necessary), and maintaining those positions while the bone heals.

9. Wound healing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_healing

   Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
