Read about types of bone fracture (broken bones). The most common broken bones are stress fractures, rib fractures, skull fractures, hip fractures, and fractures in children. Causes vary and treatment is dependent upon the type of fracture.
These crutches are equipped with adjustable handles intended to keep hands and wrists in their natural position, to reduce the risk of developing carpal tunnel for its users. They are suitable for both adults and children but are only intended to be used as a short-term crutch (no more than...
In this context, injuries to the lower extremities most often affect the foot and ankle, with the cause usually falling from high altitudes. In paragliding, skydiving and base jumping, the transitional areas of the spine such as the thoracolumbar and spinopelvic regions are particularly affected....
Radial nerve palsyis caused by injury to the nerve that runs along the underside of your upper arm. It can happen with fractures of the humerus bone in the upper part of your arm. Poorly fitted crutches can also cause it by putting pressure on the inside of your arm near your armpit. ...
Skull fractures are described by which bone is broken, whether there is an associated laceration of the scalp (open fracture), and whether the bone is depressed and potentially pushed into the brain tissue. Brain injuries often occur in combination with one another. The effects of a brain injur...

Our in vitro 3D collagen-I fibril model revealed a rise in directed cell migration, a significant increase in cell elongation, elevated cell proliferation, and amplified aggressive marker expression in the genetic profile following cell crossing of the interface from the dense to the open-pore matri...
Adults suffer head injuries most frequently due to falls, motor vehicle crashes, colliding or being struck by an object, and assaults. Falls and being struck are the most common causes of head injury in children. What Are theSymptomsof a Head Injury?
Additional aspects of vitamin D, especially on recuperation after injures and its impact on the severity of particular fractures, were also discussed.
