  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. 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. [2] Dunlop's traction – humeral fractures in children; Russell's traction; Halo-gravity traction

  4. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    In fracture healing, endochondral osteogenesis is the most commonly occurring process, for example in fractures of long bones treated by plaster of Paris, whereas fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with metal plates, screws, pins, rods and nails may heal by intramembranous osteogenesis.

    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. Fibrocartilage callus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrocartilage_callus

    Comminuted midshaft humerus fracture with callus formation. A fibrocartilage callus is a temporary formation of fibroblasts and chondroblasts which forms at the area of a bone fracture as the bone attempts to heal itself. The cells eventually dissipate and become dormant, lying in the resulting extracellular matrix that is the new bone. The ...

  7. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    For complete recovery of a fractured bone’s biomechanical functionality, the bone healing process needs to culminate in the formation of lamellar bone at the fracture site to withstand the same forces and stresses it did before the fracture. Indirect fracture healing, the most common type of bone repair, [10] relies heavily on endochondral ...

  8. 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. 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.
