Study Notes
Attendance in Osler System
- Students must check into sessions using Osler.
- The student's Osler account shows schedules for sessions.
- Relevant dates and times are shown
- Session locations may be displayed.
- Alert notifications are accessible.
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.
References (List of Sources)
- Includes a list of references for further information.
