  1. Disorder of the Bones and Joints…

  2. TraumaFracture- any break in bone • Closed or simple fracture – bone broken, broken ends do not break the skin • Treatment – closed reduction, cast or splint applied.

  3. Fracture cont. • Open or compound fracture- broken bones pierce the skin and can lead to infection. • Open reduction –surgical intervention with devices such as wires, metal plates, or screws to hold the bones in alignment.

  4. Fracture cont… • Greenstick – in children, bone bent and splintered but never completely separates.

  5. Fracture cont… • Comminuted – splintered or broken into many pieces. • Treatment- cast, possible surgery depending how bad the break is.

  6. Dislocation – bone displaced from proper position in joint. • Sprain- sudden or unusual motion, ligaments torn but joint not dislocated. • Treatment – traction pulling force used to hold the bones in place used for fractures of long bones.

  7. Rheumatoid Arthritis chronic, autoimmune disease-joints become swollen and painful, joint deformities common. Arthritis- inflammation of one or more joints…

  8. Abnormal Curvature of the spine

  9. Osteoporosis – 80% of those affected are women. Mineral density of bone is reduced 35% - 65%. The loss of bone mass leaves the bone thinner, porous and more prone to fracture ( on x-ray looks like swiss cheese) prevented by dietary calcium.

  10. Arthroscopy examination into joint using arthroscope with fiber optic lens, most knee injuries are treated with arthroscopy. Diagnosis and Treatment

  11. Traction Traction is the.. Pulling force used to hold the bones in place, used for fractures of long bones.
