also known as closed
a break in bone by way of trauma or disease
open fracture
a break in bone by way of trauma or disease
also known as compound
bone is visible outside body
stable fracture
also known as nondisplaced
a break in bone by way of trauma or disease
Bone is in the correct anatomical alignment

What kinds of treatments would be recommended for this fracture
internal fixation
hardware
RICE (Rest, ice, compression, elevation)
Immobilization
osteocytes
fully differentiated cells maintaining bone
found in lacaunae
chodrocytes
mature cartilage cells
found in lacaunae
osteoblasts
maintain homeostasis of blood calcium levels
immature bone cells that produce bone matrix
osteoclasts
multinucleated large cells
dissolve bone matrix
release calcium from stores in bone
maintain homeostasis of blood calcium levels
Scoliosis
treatment includes exercise/physical therapy
symptoms of uneven shoulders and hips cause postural imbalance and pain
curved spine
Osteoporosis
treatment includes biophosphates, a medication that inhibits osteoclasts
treatment includes exercise/physical therapy
lack of hormones estrogen and androgen
Lack of calcium and/or vitamin D causes a reduction in bone density
Arthritis
Lack of cartilage and inflammation of joints
Reduced range of motion in synovial joints
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
treatment includes biophosphates, a medication that inhibits osteoclasts
treatment includes exercise/physical therapy
curved spine
treatment with internal fixation
Genetic mutation in Col1A1 and Col1A2 genes coding type 1 collagen protein
Leukemia
Due to mutation causing an overproduction of white blood cells
form of cancer
Sprain
Stretching or tearing of ligaments
