Fracture Care
Degenerative joint conditions refer to a group of disorders that cause the gradual breakdown of cartilage, bone, and other joint structures, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. These conditions primarily affect weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, spine, and hands, but can occur in any joint. The most common degenerative joint disease is osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear over time. Other conditions include degenerative disc disease, avascular necrosis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Factors such as aging, obesity, joint injuries, and genetic predisposition increase the risk of developing these conditions. Treatment focuses on pain management, preserving joint function, and slowing disease progression through medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in severe cases, joint replacement surgery.
Types of Fractures
Closed (Simple) Fracture – Bone breaks but does not pierce the skin.
Open (Compound) Fracture – Bone breaks and penetrates the skin, increasing infection risk.
Stress Fracture – Small cracks in the bone due to repetitive stress or overuse.
Greenstick Fracture – Incomplete break, common in children.
Comminuted Fracture – Bone shatters into multiple fragments.
Spiral Fracture – Bone twists and breaks due to rotational force.
Pathologic Fracture – Caused by weakened bones due to osteoporosis or cancer.
Symptoms of a Fracture
Severe pain and swelling at the injury site.
Bruising and tenderness around the affected area.
Deformity or misalignment of the bone.
Inability to move or bear weight on the affected limb.
Grinding or cracking sound at the time of injury.
Healing and Recovery
Initial healing takes 6-8 weeks for most fractures.
Weight-bearing depends on the type and location of the fracture.
Physical therapy helps restore strength and movement.
Healthy diet (rich in calcium and vitamin D) promotes faster healing.
