Metaphysical Fractures Of Tibia

i. When discussing osteoporosis, the bones that automatically come to mind are the wrist, spine, and hip. Certain parts of the vertebral column are also common osteoporotic bones. In the vertebral column, the upper lumbar, lower thoracic, and cervical vertebrae are usually the bones that end up becoming osteoporotic.

This is where the skin does not break at the site of the fracture, and is the most common type of fracture

The second half of this is outline too brief and superficial to be very helpful. See these web sites that do a better job describing Ankle Fractures:

Surgery is generally indicated for patients who have displaced or unstable fractures and patients who will not tolerate cast immobilization. There is currently an increasing trend for immediate surgical fixation for both displaced and undisplaced fractures, mainly due to the short term benefits,

Although a fracture is also known as a broken bone, there are many types of fractures. Some types of fractures are more severe than others, all of them must be seen immediately. Fractures happen at least twice in our lives. Some types of fractures are also caused by age or osteoporosis which is the weakening of the bones (Melinda, 2015). The severity of a fracture depends on the strength with which the fracture was caused. A bone could be fractured in many ways such as lengthwise, crosswise, and also in multiple pieces (Stuart James, 2012).

There may also be associated bony lesions: avulsion fractures of the ACLu or PCL, frank utibial plateau or distal femur condylar fractures, or ipsi-lateral tibial or femoral shaft ufracture. ( 9 )

The topic that I have chosen for my research paper will be on the Lisfranc fracture dislocation. Lisfranc fracture dislocation (LFD), also known as a fracture dislocation of the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joint, are uncommon, overlooked, easily misdiagnosed, and can lead to disability if left untreated.1 Patients that have been misdiagnosed typically have a worse outcome than those who have been accurately diagnose for an LFD.2 This type of fracture only accounts for 0.2% of fractures which means that out of 55,000 people in the United States only one person has an LFD, however these numbers may be underestimated because up to one-third of injuries are missed on initial diagnosing.2 Before any diagnostic testing is done, if a patient has swelling and point tenderness in the midfoot area, particularly near the base of the intermediate

The main bone of the ankle is the talus which is the foot, tibia and fibula. The talocrural joint is a hinge joint that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula which is the lower limb on the proximal end of the talus. The subtler joint is articulation between two tarsal bones in the foot which is the talus and calcaneus, its a plane joint.

The posterior tibial tendon is one of the vital foot supporting structures. This fibrous begins in the calf muscles, stretching behind the ankle, then attaches to a midfoot bone. That bone is known as the navicular. It is very important in the structure of the arch. The posterior tibial tendon has an important role of securing the navicular in the right position. This in turn holds the arch of the foot in place, while providing support when tension is transferred from the toes to the rest of the foot. When this particular bone loses position due to tendon malfunction, the arch starts to sag, and eventually disappears. This leads to a flatfoot deformity. Post

PLAN: I am uncomfortable treating this patient, as I think there is a likelihood that he will need internal fixation for this displaced fracture, either wires or screws, which will need to violate the growth
