Bone fracture

Fibrous dysplasia is a skeletal disorder in which bone forming cell fail to mature and produce too much fibrous or connective tissue. Fibrous dysplasia is a rare bone disorder in which scar tissue develops in place of normal bone. This can weaken the affected bone and cause it to fracture.Fibrous dysplasia is linked to a gene mutation that affects the cells that produce bone. The mutation occurs after conception, in the early stages of fetal development. Which means the mutation isn't inherited…

One in every two women and one in every five men are at risk of suffering from osteoporosis fracture during their lifetime. According to the site Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, osteoporosis is a medical condition in which bones become weak and brittle (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). Most fractures are seen in the hip, forearm/wrist, and spine which can have a variety of harmful effects. These effects are chronic pain and disability, loss of independence,…

Walaa Awad Dr. Naser Multidisciplinary Approach to Health 8 Osteoporosis is a disease affecting the skeletal system, characterized by low bone mass density, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of fractures. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined osteoporosis in terms of bone mass that is more than 2.5 SD below the mean for peak bone mass in healthy young adults. In the United States, the number of people age 65 and older is expected to rise from 35 to 86 million between 2000…

genders and this is a bone disease. It is a condition in which bones become fragile and brittle. It occurs when the body loses a lot of bone, makes little bone, or both. Bones become weak and makes it easy for the bones to break from a fall (What is Osteoporosis and What Causes It). About 68% out of 44 million people at risk for this bone disease are women (Why Osteoporosis is More Common in Women). Osteoporosis is called a silent disease because a person can’t feel when their bones are…

When you break a bone it can be in any part of the body. Breaking a bone or bones can happen from not being very careful when you're doing dangerous stuff. It's pretty common to break a bone or two through out life. Usually when you break a bone you have to get a cast put around the broken bone to put it back into place, and sometimes surgery is necessary to fix the break. No I have never had a broken bone, though I have had a sprained ankle before. If someone gets a nose bleed that means…

Introduction Finger fractures are breaks in any of the bones of the fingers. What are the causes? Traumatic injury is the main cause of finger fractures. These can include: Injuries while playing sports. Workplace injuries. Falls. What increases the risk? Activities that can increase your risk of finger fractures include: Sports. Workplace activities that involve machinery. A condition called osteoporosis, which can make your bones less dense and cause them to fracture more easily. What are the…

A fracture is considered compound when the skin is broken and the bone protrudes from the open fracture/wound. There is sometimes considerable soft tissue damage and a higher risk of infection from the open fracture. Immobilizing the injured leg will help to prevent causing more damage to the soft tissue around the break. Immobilization may also keep from causing injury to the femoral artery which could be fatal. Keeping the femur as still as possible after the break may also help doctors…

The correct answer is C Osteitis Deformans (also known as Paget’s disease). Paget's is caused by the excessive breakdown and formation of bone, followed by disorganized bone remodeling. This causes affected bone to weaken, resulting in pain, misshapen bones, fractures and arthritis in the joints near the affected bones. An elevated level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood in combination with normal calcium, phosphate, and aminotransferase levels in an elderly patient are suggestive of Paget's…

assess if Mrs. Runningbird has a pain or discomfort by asking: Do you have any pain or discomfort in your muscles, bones, or joints? Where is it located? What does it feel like? Pain can result from bone, muscle, or joint problems. Bone pain is not usually associated with movement unless there is a fracture, but muscle pain is. Current or recent illness can cause muscle aches. Bone pain is deep, dull, and throbbing; muscle pain takes the form of cramping or soreness (Jenson, 2015). Secondary, I…
