3. STRESS FRACTURES IN FEMALE RUNNERS Online health report from Dr. Gabe Mirkin on common injury of women runners stress fractures. http://www.drmirkin.com/archive/6635.html

STRESS FRACTURES IN FEMALE RUNNERS Report #6635 Forty-five percent of competitive female runners develop stress fractures, small cracks on the surface of the bones in their legs and feet. The women most likely to suffer these injuries are those who restrict food and those who have irregular periods. Restricting food can stop a woman from menstruating regularly, which can stop her body from producing the female hormone, estrogen. Lack of estrogen weakens bones. Exercise does not cause irregular periods, not eating enough food does. Women who stop menstruating when they exercise heavily will usually start to menstruate regularly when they eat more food. Some women who suffer stress fractures will not heal until they take estrogen or other bone strengthening medications such as etidronate. Stress fractures usually start out as a minor discomfort in the foot or leg, that occurs near the end of a long run. Usually the pain goes away as soon as the athlete stops running. On the next day, the pain returns earlier in the run. If she notices that it hurts to touch just one spot on a bone and then stops running for a week, she can return to running quickly, but usually she ignores the pain and develops a full- blown stress fracture and hurts all the time. She now has to avoid the hard pounding of running, but can ride a bike or swim for exercise until the fracture heals in 6 to 12 weeks. The most common sites for stress fractures are the bones in the front of the feet, and the long bone of the lower leg, but running can cause stress fractures anywhere, even in the pelvic bones. I often prescribe bone strengthening medications such as Fosamax or Evista to people with stress fractures that do not heal in six months.

Tool Kit Intro and Fact Sheets Fractures Brochures Unintentional Injury Overview Fact Sheets Search Injury Falls and Hip Fractures Among Older Adults How serious is the problem? More than one-third of adults ages 65 years and older fall each year (Hornbrook 1994; Hausdorff 2001). Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths (Murphy 2000) and the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma (Alexander 1992). In 2001, more than 1.6 million seniors were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries and nearly 388,000 were hospitalized (CDC 2003). What outcomes are linked to falls? In 2001, more than 11,600 people ages 65 and older died from fall-related injuries (CDC 2003). More than 60% of people who die from falls are 75 and older (Murphy 2000). Of those who fall, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries such as hip fractures or head traumas that reduce mobility and independence, and increase the risk of premature death (Sterling 2001). Among people ages 75 years and older, those who fall are four to five times more likely to be admitted to a long-term care facility for a year or longer (Donald 1999).

8. The Facts About Broken Bones more pieces. Doctors describe fractures in the following ways A complete fracture is when the bone has broken into two pieces. http://kidshealth.org/kid/ill_injure/aches/broken_bones.html

KidsHealth Kids You just spent recess waiting in line to sign your friend's new blue cast. Now you're wondering, what's the big deal? Breaking a bone can be a pretty big deal, but it happens to lots of kids. These days, most broken bones are easily fixed, but it can still be scary when it happens to you or a friend. You depend on your bones for many things, but it's easy to forget about them until something goes wrong. To answer your questions about broken bones, we've done some digging around. How Do Bones Break? Bones are made up of bone cells, proteins (say: pro -teens), and minerals (say: min -er-ulls), like calcium . Sound like something you might have read on the side of a cereal box or vitamin bottle? That's because your diet has a big effect on the strength and health of your bones. Your bones are tough stuff - but even tough stuff can break. Like a wooden pencil, bones bend under some strain (too forceful bending) and once the pressure is too sudden or too much, they might snap. You can break a bone by falling off a skateboard or if your sister's bike falls over on you in just the right way. When a bone breaks it is called a fracture (say: frak -chur). There's more than one way to break or fracture a bone. A break can be anything from a hairline fracture (a thin break in the bone) to the bone being broken into two or more pieces.

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.

Hippocratic Treatise On Fractures By Hippocrates (ca. 400 B.C.E.) Translated by Francis Adams Part I Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11 Part 12 The leg consists of two bones, of which the one is much more slender than the other at one part, but not much more slender at another. These are connected together at the foot, and form a common epiphysis, but they are not united together along the line of the leg;and at the thigh they are united together and form an epiphysis, and this epiphysis has a diaphysis; but the other bone in a line with the little toe is a little longer. Such is the nature of the bones of the leg. Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 But if the other bone (fibula?) of the leg be broken, less powerful extension is required, and yet it must not be neglected, nor be performed slovenly, more especially at the first bandaging. For in all cases of fracture this object should be attained then as quickly as possible. For when the bandage is applied tight while the bones are not properly arranged, the properly arranged, the part becomes more painful. The treatment otherwise is the same. Part 18 Part 19 Part 20 Part 21 The swellings which arise in the ham, at the foot, or in any other part from the pressure, should be well wrapped in unscoured and carded wool, washed with wine and oil, and anointed with cerate, before bandaging; and if the splints give pain they should be slackened. You may sooner reduce the swellings, by laying aside the splints, and applying plenty of bandages to them, beginning from below and rolling upward; for thus the swellings will be most speedily reduced, and the humors be propelled to the parts above the former bandages. But this form of bandaging must not be used unless there be danger of vesications or blackening in the swelling, and nothing of the kind occurs unless the fracture be bound too tight, or unless the limb be allowed to hang, or it be rubbed with the hand, or some other thing of an irritant nature be applied to the skin.

16. Fractures fractures, fractures are generally classified as Open where there is a wound leading to the fracture site or the bone is protruding from the skin. http://www.parasolemt.com.au/Manual/fractures.html

Fractures When a bone is broken, or fractured, it affects not only blood production and function, but there are also complications associated with the muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels which are attached, or are close, to the bone. Fractures are generally classified as: Open - where there is a wound leading to the fracture site or the bone is protruding from the skin. Closed - where the bone has fractured but has no obvious external wound. Complicated - which may involve damage to associated vital organs and major blood vessels as a result of the fracture. The basic aim of management for fractured limbs is to immobilisation. Immobilisation helps reduce movement and the pain associated with fractures. Immobilise the limb with a natural splint, such as another part of the body, improvised splints, cardboard, wooden or air splints. Fractures may be caused a number of ways: Direct force; where force is applied sufficiently to cause the bone to fracture at the point of impact. Indirect force; where force or kinetic energy, applied to a large, strong bone, is transmitted up the limb, causing the weakest bones to fracture. Spontaneous or spasm-induced; where fractures are associated with disease and/or muscular spasms. These are usually associated with the elderly, and people with specific diseases affecting the bones.

17. FRACTURES Back to Homoeopathic First Responder * fractures. fractures of the bones are always very traumatic experiences The most serious fractures are those to the skull and spine http://www.simillimum.com/FirstAid/TheFirstResponder/FirstAidin/Fractures.html

THE HOMOEOPATHIC FIRST RESPONDER Back to Homoeopathic First Responder FRACTURES Fractures of the bones are always very traumatic experiences. A simple fracture involves solely the bones, whereas a compound fracture causes the skin to be broken. In a complete fracture the bone is entirely broken, whereas in an incomplete fracture, the bone is cracked. The most serious fractures are those to the skull and spine. Do not move the victim more than necessary as it may cause further injury. Severe bleeding must be dealt with immediately (refer) and loss of consciousness (refer) should be attended to before the fracture. Cover the broken skin or protruding ends of the bone with sterile gauze. A ring dressing may be place over the site of the compound fracture and secured with a bandage to kept it from being touched. Call the emergency services immediately. If the accident has taken place in an isolated area, such as the wildness, immobilize the affected part to prevent further injury and bleeding. Bandage the arm against the chest, one leg to the other, or make a split if the person must be moved. Give Arnica immediately to prevent shock, relieve pain and stop bleeding, or Aconite is there is fear and panic. If there is shock refer to the remedies specific for this condition. If a compound fracture becomes infected refer to section on infected wounds. Materia Medica ACONITE (1).
