Fracture
* Can help regain range of motion to injured areas after surgery.
* Learn about and view all types of fractures which can affect children.
* Most fracture filled diamonds contain air bubbles that have been trapped inside the filling.
* Most fractures are produced by impacts or blows and thus involve energy absorption
  - heal quickly
* Most fractures occur as a result of a fall onto the shoulder or an outstretched arm
  - of an accident
  - before puberty
  - in the arms and legs
  - result from trauma due to a fall
* Some fractures can take six to nine months to heal.
* Some fractures require periodic evaluations until the child s bones have finished growing
  - surgery to carry out the bone repair and keep the fragments in place
  - undergo routine treatment by means of osteosynthesis with a good prognosis
* also play a significant role in minerals exploitation.
* are a common consequence of osteoporosis
  - crack, break, or complete shattering of one or both bones of the lower leg
  - frequent type of injury
  - result of both trauma and decreased bone strength
* are about twice as common in women as in men
  - women than men
  - breakage
  - breaks in the bone that are often caused by a blow or a fall
  - breaks, cracks, or chips in a bone
  - broken hones
  - caused by a sudden injury that exerts more force on the bone than it can support
  - common as women age
  - extremely important in the delivery of hydrocarbons in carbonates
  - forms of brittle deformation
  - injuries
  - like cracks in a china plate
* are more prevalent in whites than in blacks and in women than in men
  - serious injuries that require immediate medical attention
  - near or through growth plates
  - often present at birth, they tend to be mostly of short stature
  - painful, disabling and costly, both in terms of quality of life and economics
  - particularly important to the movement of water
* are the classic symptom of osteoporosis
  - first clinical signs of osteoporosis
* are the most common problem associated with osteoporosis
  - result of osteoporosis
  - dangerous aspect of osteoporosis
  - serious health consequence of falls
  - traumatic injuries resulting in broken bones or teeth
  - uncommon in healthy chicks
  - video games
* break in a direction other than along cleavage planes.
* can be small chips or involve the entire bone
  - cause total disability or in some cases death
  - involve any bone in the arm or leg as well as the spine
* can occur in almost any bone
  - horizontal, vertical, or multiple planes
  - the spine, hip, wrist or elsewhere when a person has osteoporosis
  - utero and during delivery
* can result in loss of height, pain, and deformity
  - serious complications including pain, loss of mobility, and death
* cause an enormous burden on the individual and on society worldwide.
* describes an irregular break on the surface of a mineral that has no cleavage.
* develop as the plates are pulled apart
  - parallel to earth s surface
* do occur in straight frozen animals, but are smaller.
* have a variety of names
  - high permeability and allow water to move quickly from place to place
* heal at different rates depending upon the age of the child and the type of fracture
  - rapidly in children
* includes fault lines.
* involving the long bones carry a good prognosis, so long as there is no gross deformity
  - malleolus are a much more common type of ankle fracture
* is related to cleavage
  - splintery due to the cleavage
  - the breakage of a mineral in a way other than along cleavage planes
  - when the mineral breaks in an irregular surface
* occur because of an abnormality in bone mass
  - from minor trauma and heal slowly with deformity
* occur in later childhood and decrease toward adolescence
  - sports where falls or direct impacts are likely
  - utero or during delivery resulting in perinatal death
  - when there is more force applied to the bone than the bone can absorb
* occurs by the breaking of atomic bonds
  - through the zone of hypertrophied cartilage cells
  - when a mineral breaks at random lines instead of at consistent cleavage planes
* often heal without surgery.
* often occur after low-velocity trauma, particularly of the spine, hip, and distal radius
  - as a result of a fall or a collision
* refers to a broken bone or a rapture of soft tissue.
* represent submaximal accumulation of bone as a young adult or accelerated bone loss.
* result from trauma, such as falls, and from stresses incurred during normal activities
  - when more force is exerted on a bone than it can withstand
* typically occur in the hip, spine and wrist
  - spine, or wrist, but can appear in other bones
* usually cause pain
  - occur first in the wrist, then in the spine, and finally in the hip
