Cervical Spine Fractures The human spine comprises 24 vertebrae, or small bones containing the spinal cord. These vertebrae are grouped into three sections according to location: cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (middle back), and lumbar spine (lower back). Soft tissues, such as ligaments (tissues that connect bones), muscles, and skin, surround and support the spine. Seven vertebrae form the cervical spine. This section of the spine connects the base of the head to the thorax (trunk and shoulders) and, with the help of soft tissues, supports the head. A fracture (break) of the cervical spine is commonly referred to as a broken neck. Most injuries that involve the neck or cervical spine are the result of a violent collision that compresses the cervical spine against the shoulders. This force can be so great that a vertebra fractures or even bursts into small fragments (Fig. 2, normal C-spine; Fig. 3, fractured C5) . For example, striking your head against the bottom of a pool in shallow water or “spear”" tackling using the crown of your helmet to stop an opposing football player can fracture the cervical spine (Fig. 4)

Subscribe now >> Stress Fractures in Female Athletes Stress fractures have two primary causes. They result from excessive bone strain resulting in microdamage to the bone coupled with an inability to keep up with appropriate repair of the bone, or a depressed response to normal strain at the cellular and molecular levels where bone remodeling occurs. The former occurs most often in otherwise healthy female athletes and military recruits, while the latter is likely to occur with other physical problems, such as osteoporosis. There were 2.4 million high school girls competing in sports in 1997, an 800% increase over 1971. And stress fractures occur more often in female athletes than male athletes. The risk of stress fractures in female recruits in the US military is up to 10 times higher than men undergoing the same training program. There are many contributing factors to the greater frequency of stress fractures in women. Male athletes may have greater muscle mass, which absorbs shock better. In a study of female athletes, decreased calf girth was a predictor of stress fractures of the tibia. The larger width of male bones may also absorb shock better.

Indonesian rioting further fractures diverse society October 29, 1996 Web posted at: 5:30 a.m. EST (1030 GMT) From Jakarta Bureau Chief Maria Ressa SITUBONDO, Indonesia (CNN) Recent rioting in one of Indonesia's expanding cities has betrayed the growing pains afflicting one of Asia's most dynamic emerging economies. The latest trouble began when crowds at a courthouse in mostly Muslim Situbondo went on a rampage over a trial verdict against controversial Muslim leader Saleh. More traditional Muslims felt the verdict was too lenient, and a rumor that Saleh was hiding in a church sent rioters raging through the city's Christian community. Five people died and 23 churches in a 110km radius of the city were burned. Now Christian services are held outdoors or in government buildings with military and police standing guard outside. "The people had no faith in the court, the symbol of the state, and when the rumor hit, it was easy to trigger violence from a crowd like this," said political analyst Hotman Siahaan But many Christians see it in more personal terms.

DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURES ANATOMY: EPIDEMIOLOGY Distal radial fractures account for 17% of all fractures treated in the emergency room. They have a bimodal distribution with pediatric and geriatric peaks. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Distal radial fractures found in the elderly are usually extra-articular metaphysial fractures. I younger patients, however, these are usually intraarticular with displacement of the joint surface. On clinical examination there is obvious deformity of the wrist with dorsal displacement of the hand in Colles' and dorsal Barton's fractures. With Smith's and palmar Barton's fracture, there is volar displacement of the hand. Patient may also have swelling of the wrist and the hand with ecchymosis. Also, extreme tenderness about the radius is found. The distal ulna, forearm, elbow, and shoulder should be examined for tenderness as well. Median nerve function and flexor and extensor tendon function should be assessed. Distal ulna instability should also be assessed with local or regional anesthesia.

Home Products Distributors Bio-Med Home Use ... FAQs Ultimate Safety Incorporated There Is NO Substitute For The Leading Edge In Fall Prevention A patient fall is the most common adverse event that occurs in a healthcare facility today. Each year, thousands of patients are injured, many severely, by a fall from their bed or chair. Falls are responsible for 90% of all hip fractures and account for 87% of all fractures among people aged 65 years or older and are the second leading cause of spinal cord and brain injury. Of all fractures from falls, hip fractures cause the greatest health problems and the greatest number of deaths. Three hundred and fifty thousand (350,000) Americans sustain hip fractures annually, and the incidence is expected to reach 650,000 by the year 2050. The current annual cost to the U.S. Health care system for acute and chronic care for patients with hip fractures is over $10 billion. That's an average cost exceeding $35,000 per patient. Hip fracture is a major health catastrophe among older patients and the mortality rates are staggering: 24 of all patients die in the 12 months following injury and u nfortunately, many patients who sustain a hip fracture are not able to return to their prior living situations. Commonly, they have a fear of falling, and this influences their ability to care for themselves independently.

37. Fall Injuries Among Older Adults, The Costs Of Fallrelated fractures The most common fall-related injuries are osteoporoticfractures. Hip fractures in the elderly a world-wide projection. http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/factsheets/fallcost.htm

Fall Injury Costs References Search Injury The Costs of Fall Injuries Among Older Adults The Problem Falls are a serious public health problem among older adults. More than a third of adults aged 65 years or older fall each year (Hornbrook 1994; Hausdorff 2001). Older adults are hospitalized for fall-related injuries five times more often than they are for injuries from other causes (Alexander 1992). Of those who fall, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries that reduce mobility and independence, and increase the risk of premature death (Alexander 1992). Calculating Cost Estimates The cost of fall-related injuries is often expressed in terms of direct costs. Direct costs include out-of-pocket expenses and charges paid by insurance companies for the treatment of fall-related injuries. These include costs and fees associated with hospital and nursing home care, physician and other professional services, rehabilitation, community-based services, the use of medical equipment, prescription drugs, local rehabilitation, home modifications, and insurance administration (Englander 1996). Direct costs do not account for the long-term consequences of these injuries, such as disability, decreased productivity, or reduced quality of life.

40. The Physician And Sportsmedicine: Common Foot And Ankle Fractures Part 1 Detecting and Treating Common Foot and Ankle fractures Part 1 The Ankleand Hindfoot. David B. Thordarson, MD. THE Ankle fractures. Ankle http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1996/09_96/thordar.htm

Detecting and Treating Common Foot and Ankle Fractures: Part 1: The Ankle and Hindfoot David B. Thordarson, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 9 - SEPTEMBER 96 This is the first of two articles on fractures of the foot and ankle. The second article, on midfoot and forefoot fractures, will appear in a subsequent issue. In Brief: Some of the most common and potentially serious ankle and hindfoot fractures seen in a primary care sports medicine practice are fractures of the tibial plafond, malleolus, calcaneus, and talus (including osteochondral lesions). Making a careful physical exam to detect for sites of tenderness and ordering the appropriate diagnostic imagesusually plain filmsare important in pinpointing the diagnosis, but some injuries, like Maisonneuve fractures, can be difficult to detect. Certain injuries, like many fractures of the lateral process of the talus, can be managed conservatively with casting, but severe or displaced fractures usually require surgery. Rehabilitation typically focuses on rest and proper strengthening and stretching exercises. F ractures of the foot and ankle immediately impair a recreational or elite athlete's ability to perform competitively in virtually any sporting activity. Fractures of the ankle and hindfoot usually occur acutely in a traumatic episode; chronic injuries like stress fractures are more likely in the midfoot and forefoot. Some of the more common fractures heal well with nonoperative care and some require surgical treatment, so an accurate diagnosis is essential.
