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 >> Vitamin A: A Role in Macular Degeneration and Fractures Q: A: First, let me explain macular degeneration for our readers who aren't familiar with the condition. The macula is a very sensitive area located in the center of the retina. The retina, of course, is the tissue at the back of the eye that converts the light and images we see into electrical impulses and sends these nerve signals to the brain, where we interpret them visually. Macular degeneration refers to the deterioration of the macula, which can lead to vision loss. Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) occurs in two forms: dry and wet. Dry ARMD occurs when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down, gradually blurring central vision in the affected eye. As dry ARMD gets worse, you may see a blurred spot in the center of your vision. Over time, as less of the macula functions, central vision in the affected eye can be lost gradually. You may notice you have difficulty recognizing faces, or need more light for reading and other tasks. Dry ARMD generally affects both eyes, but vision can be lost in one eye while the other eye seems unaffected. One of the most common early signs of dry ARMD is drusen. Drusen are yellow deposits under the retina. They often are found in people over age 60. Your eye care professional can detect drusen during a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

28. Distal Humerus Fractures - Supracondylar Fractures Distal Humerus fractures Supracondylar fractures. Children who present with nondisplaced supracondylar fractures may initially have minimal swelling. http://www.embbs.com/ortho/suprc.html

Distal Humerus fractures - Supracondylar fractures by Alan S. Miller, M.D. I. Epidemiology Supracondylar fractures are the most common fractures about the elbow in children with this fracture occurring most commonly in the 3 - 11 year old child. The usual mechanism is for the child to fall with an extended elbow causing posterior displacement (extension type fracture - 95% of displaced supracondylar fractures). Twenty to thirty percent of all supracondylar fractures exhibit little or no displacement and approximately twenty five percent of supracondylar fractures are of the greenstick type. The collateral ligaments and the anterior capsule in children are quite strong thus ligamentous tears without fractures are quite rare. II. Clinical Exam Children who present with nondisplaced supracondylar fractures may initially have minimal swelling. The young child may present with vague pain so that the differential diagnosis may include nursemaid's elbow, occult fractures of the radial head, condyle fractures or a septic joint. Children with supracondylar extension fractures may have a prominent olecranon with the distal humeral fragment palpated posteriorly and superiorly because of the pull of the posterior tricep muscle. Patients with a supracondylar flexion fracture may carry their elbow flexed with loss of the olecranon prominence. Pearls in elbow X - rays: a. Consider a displaced anterior fat pad or the presence of a posterior fat pad on a lateral elbow X - ray to be consistent with a fracture until proven otherwise.

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.

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.

In the United States, such protectors could eliminate up to 252,000 of the 300,000 hip fractures among the elderly. About one in four elderly people hospitalized for a hip fracture die within a year, either because of the fracture or its complications. Many of the survivors are permanently disabled.

39. The Physician And Sportsmedicine: Scaphoid Fractures Office Management of Scaphoid fractures. Proximal fractures and vertically oriented fractures have the most morbidity, and open reduction should be considered. http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1996/08_96/gutierez.htm

Office Management of Scaphoid Fractures Greg Gutierrez, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 8 - AUGUST 96 In Brief: A dull, deep pain in the wrist after a fall on an outstretched hand is the hallmark of a scaphoid fracture. Pain with maneuvers that stress the scaphoid can suggest fracture on physical exam. Radiographs are crucial: Determining the location, stability, and orientation of the fracture guides treatment and predicts outcome. Distal fractures and horizontally oriented fractures generally heal well and can be managed by immobilization in a short-arm thumb spica cast. Proximal fractures and vertically oriented fractures have the most morbidity, and open reduction should be considered. When prolonged immobilization is required, range-of-motion and strengthening exercises are prescribed to restore hand function after cast removal. T he scaphoid bone is crucial to the intricate function of the wrist. It endures a myriad of complex forces, including a common injury in active peoplea fall on an outstretched hand, particularly when the wrist is radially deviated. The scaphoid is the most frequently injured carpal bone. In the wrist, only distal radius fractures are more common. Scaphoid injuries are most commonly seen in young men, are often misdiagnosed as sprained wrists, and are rarely seen in children because the distal radial physis usually fails first. Scaphoid fractures have a warranted reputation for needing close attention. Fractures of this bone can be complicated by a tenuous blood supply and a tendency for some of the fractures to be unstable. Certain scaphoid fractures require prolonged immobilization and have an increased risk of poor results. However, 60% to 70% of scaphoid fractures are stable and 90% will heal with prompt diagnosis and proper immobilization (1,2).
