See page 1461 for definitions of strength-of-evidence levels. S tress fractures are among the most common sports injuries and are frequently managed by family physicians. A stress fracture should be suspected in any patient presenting with localized bone or periosteal pain, especially if he or she recently started an exercise program or increased the intensity of exercise. Other possible sources of bone pain, including metastatic lesions, should be considered. Stress fractures can result from participation in many activities and sports, especially those requiring running and jumping. Athletics, or track and field sports, account for 50 percent of stress fractures in men and 64 percent in women. Participation in some sports that are not considered to be high-impact, such as platform diving and rowing (crew), also may cause stress fractures, particularly of the metatarsals and ribs. Hockey, golf, swimming, fencing, and softball have very low reported incidences of stress fractures.

Advanced Search Prevention of Osteoporosis and Fractures PAUL ULLOM-MINNICH, M.D., M.P.H. University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita Wichita, Kansas O steoporosis and low bone density are significant risk factors for morbidity and mortality in older adults. These conditions are characterized by poor bone strength and are associated with an increased risk of fractures from even slightly traumatic events, such as falls from standing height or lower. Vertebral fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis, but hip, Colles' and other fractures are also common. Low bone density may be a silent condition until a complication occurs. Increased attention is being given to the early diagnosis and treatment of low bone density as well as the prevention of fractures. Several medications have recently been labeled for the treatment of osteoporosis, but their marginal benefits require careful consideration of their cost. Osteoporosis and Osteopenia As commonly defined, osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mineral density is 2.5 standard deviations below the average bone density in gender-matched young adults. Osteopenia is a less advanced state of low bone mineral density. The risk of fracture increases two to three times for every 10 percent drop in bone density. Patients with low bone mineral density and multiple risk factors for falling are 27 times more likely to sustain an osteoporotic fracture.

Search FamilyFun Tools Parent Problem Solver Field Guide to Parenting Pregnancy Calendar ... Solutions A to Z Orthopedic injuries: Fractures Children's bones are softer than those of adults, thus childhood fractures are quite different from those occurring in adults. A child's bones may bend more than 45 degrees without breaking; when fractures do occur, they are often hairline, "green-stick" or simple fractures. SIGNS OF FRACTURES It is often difficult to tell whether a child's bone is broken. If you suspect a broken bone, treat it accordingly even if it looks normal. Signs to look for: HOW TO GIVE FIRST AID FOR FRACTURES Check the child's breathing and pulse. If they are absent, call for emergency help and start CPR. Check for signs of shock. Keep the child lying down and as quiet as possible. Cover to keep warm. If there is bleeding over the suspected fracture, place a clean cloth or hand over the wound and apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. Do not move the child unless the child is in danger of further injury where he is lying. If the child must be moved, make a splint to completely immobilize the injured part. Do not allow the child foods or fluids. Fluid or food intake may delay emergency administration of a general anesthetic if surgery is needed.

Closed fracture: neither end of the bone has broken through the skin. Complete fracture: the broken bone is completely separated at the break. Incomplete fracture: the broken bone is not completely separated at the break. Transverse fracture: a straight break across the bone. Spiral fracture or oblique fracture: usually caused by sudden, violent, rotating movements, such as twisting the leg during a fall. Comminuted fracture: there are more than two fragments of bone at the fracture.
