Tibial Plafond Fracture Treatment | Tibial Plafond Bone Fracture Surgery, Recovery, Healing Time and Symptoms There can be many forms of ankle injury. Each of them has their own areas that are affected. When there are two malleoli that are cracked or broken, the ankle fracture is called as the bimalleolar fracture. On the other hand, when the two malleoli and the posterior process in the tibial area are affected then it is already called the trimalleolar fracture. However, when it already affects the shin bone and the ankle joint then that is a different kind of fracture. This is what they call as the plafond fracture. In this article, we will talk about this kind of fracture of the ankle and other important details that go with it. All these information and details would be vital in better understanding the nature of the fracture, how to heal it and what other important details should we know about it. Definition of tibial plafond fracture The tibial plafond fracture is anot...

When it comes to bone fracture, one of the areas that are susceptible to this condition is the ankle region. In fact, there are different types of ankle fractures. One of the most common types is what they call the bimalleolar fracture. At the same time, there is also one that is called the tibial plafond fracture. In this article, we will talk about the trimalleolar fracture and would try to compare this form of ankle fracture with other known forms of ankle fracture injury. In addition, we will also discuss the different details and information that is crucial in better understanding what is a trimalleolar fracture. Information such as its causes, symptoms, and treatments would also be discussed in this article. Understanding the anatomy of the ankle region There are three main parts in the ankle region: talus (or the foot bone), tibia (or the shin bone), the fibula (or the bone that is located outside the ankle). With these parts, there are still other important structures ...

There are many bones and other structures that can be found on the wrist region. At the same time, there are other structures that support the wrist for its proper function.  The wrist is the piece of our body that is exceptionally versatile. It enables us to support actions that involve complex movements and it can also stand heavy force that we expect through its help. Because of this, it is not surprising that one can suffer from displaced or undisplaced fracture wrist. Wrist fracture is one of the most common types of bone fracture.  In fact, it is believed to comprise around one-fourth of total incidents of fracture of the limbs. The usual parts of the wrist that suffer from fracture injury are the distal radius and ulnar styloid (more commonly known as the ulna). On the other hand, the carpal parts of the wrist do not suffer much from fracture. There are only rare cases of fracture on the carpal areas. Identifying the right fracture diagnosis and treatment would ensur...

Finding a good pace various sorts and names of bone break the influences the hand, wrist, leg, feet, spine, hip, and the lower leg. Crack is a condition wherein there is a split or break on the congruity of a hard tissue in our body. This hard tissue is commonly represented by the bones. Different parts of the body that have bones have the tendency to suffer from a fracture injury under given instances and conditions. To be able to better understand what bone fracture is, the following information and details would be helpful: Nondisplaced fracture classification According to orthopedic medicine, there are three types of bone fracture: simple, compound, and compression fractures. Simple Nondisplaced fracture  – this is the type of fracture wherein the crack or break happens inside and does not show off on the skin’s surface. This is more commonly known as closed fracture. In its mild occurrences, an Nondisplaced fracture may just happen wherein the bone is not to...

Weber Fracture Treatment, Surgery - Weber Fracture Types Healing Time, Recovery As indicated by an investigation on bone crack, the lower leg is one of the every now and again harmed joints in the body. Patients with this type of fracture have to undergo lateral x-ray and AP for fracture diagnosis in order for the surgeon to know how to manage the injury. There are different types of ankle fractures that have to be analyzed to know how to heal each type. Proper classification of the fracture will also help the doctor analyze the stability of the fracture injury and the extent of the damage. For better understanding, the Weber classification of ankle fractures will be combined with the Lauge-Hansen system. The Weber A, B, C fracture fracture evaluation would be done easily then. In the case of other types of fracture such as Salter Harris fracture, there are different types of fractures that happen on the growth plate of kids. This Salter Harris fracture classification also uses an...

The human body is supported by the bones in it that allow movement and protection of the important organs inside. They even help in storing the nutrients that are needed by the body to function well. Thus, you need to take care of your bones in order to let them continue to function the way that they should. These bones are also built and established hard with the help of calcium phosphate. As this mineral is deposited in every bone that you have in your body, this will undoubtedly make you and your bones stronger. Anatomy A zygomatic bone is one of the bones in the body, particularly found on the upper and lateral portion of the face. It is the type of facial bone that gives the form to the cheek. A zygomatic bone composes the infratemporal and temporal fossae, forming the floor of the orbit and a part of the lateral wall near the cheek. Like many other bones in the body, this is also at risk of being broken or fractured. A fractured zygomatic bone can happen when the face gets a...

Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture is one of the kinds of facial skeleton fractures. Just like fractures in the zygoma, this happens on the face after a strong impact on the facial skeleton. Unlike calcaneus fracture and the sternum fracture, this one might affect the way you breathe and your vision as well. For instance, a patient with ZMC fracture is not allowed to blow hard into the nose within the next ten days after the bone fracture happened. When the bones are displaced, this would be even more difficult to address. The fracture healing time might take longer than necessary. Maxillary fracture is another type of fracture injury that affects the facial skeleton. Thus, the patient should be extra careful especially with more complicated cases of the fracture. In the formation of the facial skeleton, the zygomaticomaxillary complex can help develop the aesthetic appearance of the face. It also contributes to the function of the skeleton as well. Without ZMC, no cheekbone form...
