Boxer's fracture

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…

processes. Fractures are made in a reversed order starting form the end of the horizontal hole. Plugs are then placed upon the completion of each stage to prevent communication between the stages. A Problem with Economic Consequences A major issue that is encountered during the fracturing process is the hydraulic communication among the stages. This is specifically a common problem in carbonate rocks as well as formations with a relatively low permeability in the direction of the fractures. In…

of organized micro fibrils, and also has crystalline and amorphous regions. The mechanical properties are highly antistrophic, and have great stiffness in the axial regions. The density of wood is also strong as well. This assists with its strong fracture toughness. Unfortunately wood is easily cracked in the parallel region, but not the perpendicular…

obtain the critical ERRs Gc (i.e. interfacial fracture toughness) of the interface between Cu leadframe and EMC. They were determined by the FEM simulations using the three mentioned methods: VCCT, VCE and J-integral. The verification of simulations was performed using an analytical solution (eq. (6)). Based on the critical ERRs obtained from different specimens tested at different temperatures, the temperature dependence of the interfacial fracture toughness was investigated. The upper EMC…

X-Ray Joints As we already know that knowledge of normal bone, joint and soft tissue appearances enables accurate description of abnormalities seen on X-ray. Systematically check the alignment of bone structures, joint spacing, integrity of bone cortex, medullary bone texture, and for abnormalities of any visible surrounding soft tissue structures. In Osteoarthritis look for LOSS: L-Loss of joint space O-Osteopyhtes S-Subcondral sclerosis S-Subchondral cysts X-Ray PNS Paranasal sinuses are air…

Dr. Romash, Forever Life’s Student Walking into my orthopedic surgeon’s office has become a norm for me over the years between all of my breaks, dislocations, and sprains, but my last visit was quite different than all my previous ones. This visit was not about me, or my knee, or my ankle, but my beloved surgeon Dr. Romash. Over the past six years I have known Dr. Romash as a caregiver, a friend, and a coach, but not since our recent interview have I known him as a student. In his interview,…

Affected bones are often found on one side of the body. The disease does not spread from one bone to another People who have more than one affected bone typically develop symptoms before the age of 10. Symptoms may include: bone pain,bone deformities,fractures and nerve entrapment.Fibrous dysplasia has no cure.Treatment, which may include surgery, focuses on relieving signs and symptoms. Osteoporosis medications may help strengthen bones affected by fibrous dysplasia. This can…

Have you seen that bony lump at the inside of your big toe joint? If you did, you are most likely to have a bunion. This enlargement is actually a misalignment of your big toe joint, which can have additional bone formation in some cases. Such misalignment makes your big toe to point outward going to your small toes. Bunion, or medically termed as hallux valgus, is a progressive condition that worsens over time. There is a less common bunion called bunionette or tailor's bunion, which is…

Osteoarthritis is a worldwide chronic condition that has impacted the lives on many people today, causing pain, deformity, and difficulty with daily physical tasks. This chronic condition is, “believed to have a genetic cause or predisposition, and is caused by wear and tear on a joint. The cartilage wears away and exposes the bone.” (Rosdahl and Kowalski, 2006, p.1235) This chronic condition generally targets individuals with obesity and it is most commonly found among women. The…
