Time.com People Fortune EW LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) Maureen Reagan, the daughter of former President Ronald Regan, has two mild compression fractures in her spinal column, her husband said Wednesday. Dennis Revall made the announcement in a statement about his wife's treatment for malignant melanoma. She was hospitalized at St. John's Health Center in the John Wayne Cancer Institute December 11 to begin the aggressive biochemotherapy treatment for her cancer, which had been spreading at "an alarming rate" prior to the start of treatment, according to doctors. "She's doing remarkably well," Revall said. He said doctors believe the fractures are the result of biochemotherapy treatment for a small melanoma tumor on her spine. As the drugs worked, the tumor compressed and the brittle bones fractured slightly. Dr. Kevin Ehrhart, the orthopedic surgeon who performed hip replacement surgery on former President Ronald Reagan January 13 at the same hospital, will be consulting Maureen on her treatment.

    Extractions: Michael L. Richardson, M.D. Facial Fractures The bones of the skull and face collectively make up the most complex area of skeletal real estate in the body. Analysis of the fractured face requires a knowledge of not only normal anatomy, but also of common fracture patterns in the face. Although they represent serious injuries, the workup and treatment of facial fractures is often properly delayed until more pressing problems have been addressed, such as the establishment of an adequate airway, hemodynamic stabilization, and the evaluation and treatment of other more serious injuries of the head, chest and skeleton. Once these problems have been managed, it is time to work up facial fractures. At our institution, high resolution CT is currently the imaging procedure of choice for most facial fractures. The complex anatomy and fractures of the facial bones are shown extremely well by CT, and soft tissue complications can be evaluated to a far greater degree with CT. Therefore, the plain film facial series has taken a back seat to CT in the past few years, and is now used only in certain situations, such as when the facial trauma is very focal (nasal fracture), or when CT is unavailable. However I find it easier to initially teach the anatomy and fracture patterns of the face with plain films. Once these concepts have been grasped by the resident, one can then move on to the axial and coronal anatomy shown by CT.

51. "Fractures And Splinting"
    fractures AND SPLINTING By Willis Lamm. Even small fractures, such as in a finger, can lead to a frustrating disability if not treated correctly.  
    http://www.whmentors.org/saf/fracture.html
    
    Extractions: By Willis Lamm Reprinted with permission of TrailBlazer Magazine for non-commercial use. There are 206 bones in the human body, and every fall brings with it the possibility of breaking one. While most of the time we dust ourselves off and climb back on with little more than bruised muscles and bruised egos, there are a few instances where fractures do occur, which can prove to be serious emergencies. Whether in the barn or out on the trail, it is important to understand the physiology of fractures and take the correct steps early on after the accident. What happens during a fracture: When a fracture occurs, a portion of a bone may chip or crack away or the bone may be completely broken. In any event, the bone fragments will damage nearby tissues and blood vessels, causing swelling and blood clots in the area of the fracture. Nearby tissue cells which lose their blood supply will die. Undamaged tissue cells nearby the fracture site will respond to the injury by rapidly dividing in an attempt to form a collar of tissue surrounding the fracture site. New bone is generated from this mass of tissue in order to eventually heal the damaged bone. If the fracture site is mishandled early after the injury, more soft tissues could be damaged which could significantly prolong healing. If the bone ends are disturbed, the disruption to the normal healing process could result in a permanent disability.

52. Fractures Without Significant Trauma

    http://www.rad.washington.edu/mskbook/fractureswst.html
    
    Extractions: Michael L. Richardson, M.D. The circumstance of fracture without any history of significant trauma is not uncommon. Whenever you get this history, a red flag should pop up in your visual cortex and a bell should go off in your auditory tracts. Generally, the differential diagnosis here is fairly logical. The thing to remember is that a bone needs a reason to break. Usually, that reason is that a substantial force has been applied to the bone. If there is no evidence of such a force, we must look for some other reason. To do this, you must first answer two questions: 1) did the fracture occur through normal or abnormal bone; 2) is there normal or decreased amount of bone present? Once you have answered these two questions, you can use the following handy-dandy flowchart to arrive at the most likely mechanism for the fracture. Fractures through abnormal bone are called "pathological" fractures. Probably the most common cause of this is an underlying tumor, either benign or malignant. However, almost any underlying process of bone that weakens the bone can lead to a pathological fracture. Therefore, one should also consider infection, osteomalacia, and Paget's disease, among other causes.

    Extractions: The wrist joint is made up of the two bones in your forearm (the radius and the ulna) and the many tiny bones in the base of your hand (carpal bones). The radius is the bone on the thumb side of the forearm, and the ulna is the outer bone of the forearm located on the side of the pinky (Fig. 1). Fractures of these bones in the forearm are the most common wrist fractures in all age groups. These fractures generally occur during a fall on an outstretched hand. Children with these fractures may have only a small amount of swelling and deformity (the bone is out of its normal position). In adults, particularly the elderly, fractures near the wrist can cause a large amount of swelling and deformity. (Smith's fracture and Colles' fracture) Treatment The physician's first step in treating anyone with wrist pain after an injury is to obtain and evaluate an x-ray. This will usually be all the testing necessary to tell if a bone is fractured (broken, cracked, chipped, or smashed). Sometimes, however, more testing may be necessary (such as an MRI, CT, or bone scan) to help determine the best form of treatment. The treatment of a wrist fracture varies widely and depends on its location, position, and stability, and how many pieces of broken bone have been created by the injury. Most fractures are treated simply with a cast; sometimes the bone fragments must be gently pushed back to a more normal position before casting. Some fractures are unstable enough that a cast cannot hold the pieces of bone in a normal position for healing, and surgery may then be necessary. Patients with wrist fractures usually do very well, although some may have problems with slight stiffness or loss of motion. Arthritis can also develop sometime in the future, particularly if the smooth, shiny joint surfaces were disrupted by the fracture pieces.

    Extractions: 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.

58. Scaphoid Fractures
    SCAPHOID fractures. Introduction. The scaphoid is the most commonly injured bone in the carpus, accounting for 6070% of all carpal fractures.  
    http://www.amirmd.com/ortho-info/scafoidfx.html
    
    Extractions: Introduction The scaphoid is the most commonly injured bone in the carpus, accounting for 60-70% of all carpal fractures. Only distal radius fractures are more common. 90 to 95% will go on to union if treated adequately (thus, 5-10% non-union may occur, in spite of treatment.) Anatomy The scaphoid is the most complex carpal bone, making up the base of the lateral (mobile) column of the wrist (Navarro). It lies obliquely at about 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the two carpal rows. Most of its surface is made up of articular cartilage. Distally, it articulates with the trapezium and trapezoid in a gliding motion, The articulation with the trapezium forms a base for independent movement of the thumb. On the ulnar side, it articulates distally with the capitate, and proximally with the lunate in a rotary motion. Proximally, its large, biconvex surface allows articulation with the radius. VOLAR (top) and DORSAL (bottom) LIGAMENTS of the scaphoid and wrist The dorsal radiocarpal ligament inserts obliquely across the dorsal surface. The waist, or central indentation, provides a path for the palmar radiocarpal ligament to the capitate. The scaphoid tuberosity acts as a pivot for the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis. The scaphoid is bound to the radius and carpal bones by a complex ligament system. Since the scaphoid spans the proximal and distal carpal rows, it acts as a fink, or structural strut between them and its integrity is necessary for wrist stability. Because of these complex articulations, the scaphoid moves in nearly all carpal motions, especially in volar flexion. Any alteration to the integrity of the joint surfaces (fracture) or to the ligamentous stability (dislocation) may ad to degenerative changes and cause a great deal of morbidity.
