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]
Arthroscopy is until today in an experimental stage but research suggest that in the near future it will be a reasonable alternative for open surgery due to faster recovery time. [6] For a tear in the lunotriquetral ligament, arthroscopic debridement is the prime treatment with a loss or reduction of symptoms of 78-100%.
Orthopedic casts or just casts are a form of medical treatment used to immobilize and support bones and soft tissues during the healing process after fractures, surgeries, or severe injuries. By restricting movement, casts provide stability to the affected area, enabling proper alignment and healing of bones, ligaments, and tendons.
A Barton's fracture is a type of wrist injury where there is a broken bone associated with a dislocated bone in the wrist, typically occurring after falling on top of a bent wrist. [1] It is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint .
Galeazzi fracture after surgical fixation. Galeazzi fractures are best treated with open reduction of the radius and the distal radio-ulnar joint. [3] It has been called the "fracture of necessity," because it necessitates open surgical treatment in the adult. [4] Nonsurgical treatment results in persistent or recurrent dislocations of the ...
Recovery time depends on the degree of bone displacement, the number of bone fragments, whether or not the break is "intra-articular" (involves the wrist joint), as well as the person's age, gender, and medical history, and may range from two months to a year or more for complete recovery. [2]
Brie Bella, Mike Caussin and more celebrities have detailed their decisions to get vasectomies or have their tubes tied. The Total Bellas star’s fallopian tubes were cut in October 2020, two ...
When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation. For the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position. Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement.
