Margaret Mead's Perspective on Civilization

An anthropologist named Margaret Mead was questioned by a student.
Mead stated a fundamental sign of civilization in a culture
The student asked what the first sign of civilization was.
A healed broken femur.
In animals, a broken leg results in death due to inability to survive danger.
Healing a broken femur demonstrated the tendency of members in the group to assist each other
Saving a person from danger and difficulty is an early example of civilization.

Introduction to Fracture Repair and Classification

The presentation's subject is fracture repair and classification.
The presenter is Joan Roehl, an assistant professor.

Acknowledgment of Country

Bond University recognizes the Kombumerri people as the traditional owners of the land.
Acknowledged custodians of the land on which the university is situated.
Respect is paid to all Elders past, present and emerging;

Patient Demographics and Scenarios (Illustrations)

Examples of different ages and genders showing various scenarios (2yo female, 23yo male, 85yo female - examples of varied trauma).

Week Learning Outcomes

Students should be able to characterize bone fractures by their classifications.
Be capable of summarizing the key phases of the fracture repair process.

Session Learning Outcomes

The presentation aims to describe the causes of bone fractures.
The course will explain the structure of bones across life stages and the effect of mechanisms of harm on a bone's appearance
Students will learn and explain various classifications of bone fractures.
The presentation's focus is on the process of bone repair and the different types of fracture healing.

Fracture Definition

A fracture is the break in a bone caused by force exceeding the tensile or compressive strength of the bone
Forces causing fractures can be compression or tension.

Causes of Bone Fractures

Fractures are categorized into groups based on their causes.
Sudden injury ,
Fatigue/stress fractures, and
Pathologic fractures.

Incidence of Bone Fractures

Young males (15-24) and the elderly (65+) are at highest risk for fractures.
Fractures of healthy young people frequently result from high-impact incidents like vehicle accidents, falls, and certain sports.
Fractures among the elderly are more often related to medical conditions like osteoporosis, impacting sites like hips, shoulders, and spinal vertebrae.

Risk Factors for Bone Fractures

Various risk elements that influence bone fractures were examined.

Classification of Fractures

This section provides examples of various classification of fractures: -Complete fracture (broken all the way through) -Incomplete fracture (damage but not broken completely).
Various types of fractures such as closed (simple), open (compound), displaced, comminuted, transverse, oblique, pathologic and compression fractures are covered.
- Detailed examples of fracture scenarios.

Classification of Fractures: Open (Compound)

An open fracture involves a break in the skin around the fracture site.
Soft tissue damage is a possibility.
Risk of infection and significant bleeding.
Open fractures constitute a medical emergency.

Classification of Fractures: Displaced

A fracture occurs, the fractured pieces shift from their normal position.
X-rays often provide visual confirmation of displaced fractures.

Classification of Fractures: Comminuted Fractures

The bone breaks into multiple pieces;
High-energy traumas can cause this type of fracture.

Classification of Fractures: Transverse Fracture

A fracture characterized by a line that traverses the bone at a right angle.
Directly applied forces are common contributors.

Classification of Fractures: Oblique Fracture

Angled fracture line.
May result from twisting or angled impact.

Classification of Fractures: Pathologic Fractures

Bones weakened due to disease (ex. osteoporosis, tumors, etc.)
Pathologic fractures develop when normal forces break weakened bones.

Classification of Fractures: Pathologic Fracture (Illustrations)

Demonstrates examples from a real patient case.
Explains the details of the case, including the patient profile and the fracture location in relation with the symptoms and images that correlate.

Classification of Fractures: Compression Fractures

Bone crushing and deformation, frequently involving vertebrae.
Commonly linked with osteoporosis in the elderly.

Classification of Fractures: Greenstick Fractures

Partial fracture typically impacting only one bone outer surface , typically impacting children
Typically bending force rather than direct impact occurs.

Classification of Fractures: Stress Fractures

A repetitive stress causes tiny fractures.
Typical fatigue fractures in the legs or feet when exposed to repetitive exertion.
Conditions or issues such as certain metabolic disorders and bone diseases that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis, or bone-related defects can lead to insufficiency fractures.
The force needed to fracture a bone may be less if the bone has pre-existing weakness.

Fracture Repair

Process of fixing broken bones

Bone Healing

Bone healing occurs through both direct and indirect processes, involving micro-gap repair < 1 mm or large gap repair > 1 mm.
This section details various phases of bone healing in indirect/secondary bone repair (hematoma, inflammatory, reparative, remodeling).

Bone Healing - Factors Influencing Healing

Several factors influence bone healing, including malnutrition and specific complications that delay healing
The complications include malunion, delayed union, or non-union which are all influenced by several factors.
