Vertebroplasty What is Vertebroplasty? It's a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that relieves the pain of vertebral compression fractures. The procedure offers significant relief of acute pain. In fact, studies indicate that 85-90% of all patients experience immediate pain relief. Vertebroplasty is also ideal for many patients who are not candidates for surgery.

THE HOMOEOPATHIC FIRST RESPONDER Back to Homoeopathic First Responder FRACTURES Fractures of the bones are always very traumatic experiences. A simple fracture involves solely the bones, whereas a compound fracture causes the skin to be broken. In a complete fracture the bone is entirely broken, whereas in an incomplete fracture, the bone is cracked. The most serious fractures are those to the skull and spine. Do not move the victim more than necessary as it may cause further injury. Severe bleeding must be dealt with immediately (refer) and loss of consciousness (refer) should be attended to before the fracture. Cover the broken skin or protruding ends of the bone with sterile gauze. A ring dressing may be place over the site of the compound fracture and secured with a bandage to kept it from being touched. Call the emergency services immediately. If the accident has taken place in an isolated area, such as the wildness, immobilize the affected part to prevent further injury and bleeding. Bandage the arm against the chest, one leg to the other, or make a split if the person must be moved. Give Arnica immediately to prevent shock, relieve pain and stop bleeding, or Aconite is there is fear and panic. If there is shock refer to the remedies specific for this condition. If a compound fracture becomes infected refer to section on infected wounds. Materia Medica ACONITE (1).

MadSci Network Edible/Inedible Experiments Archive Fractures in cheese Area of Science: Earth Sciences Meant for at least Grade K-3 (age 5-7). This experiment is edible. An adult need not be present. Overview: Learn how fractures grow by pulling on a piece of cheese Equipment: Pre-sliced American cheese (the smooth, unnaturally yellow stuff that comes individually wrapped in plastic) works best Safety: Don't eat the cheese if you're lactose intolerant! How to do the experiment: First, take a slice of cheese and pull on the edges. It should tear apart. Eat it. Get a new slice. Now, make a small incision in the middle of the cheese slice with your fingernail or a butterknife, parallel to the edge of the cheese slice. Then pull on the two cheese edges parallel to the incision (so that you're pulling in a direction perpendicular to the incision). Watch how the small defect you've introduced into the cheese slice concentrates the tearing. Observe the shape of the propagating fracture, especially the pointed tips where the tearing is taking place, and how the fracture tips move faster as the fracture gets bigger. Eat the torn up slice and get a new one. Now try repeating this, only this time make two incisions near the middle of the cheese, maybe about an inch apart, and make them offset diagonally from each other (see picture below). Now when you pull on the cheese, fractures will begin to propagate from each of these defects. As the tips of these fractures begin to propagate past each other, they will begin to curve toward each other, and eventually link up into a single fracture.

Advanced Search Prevention of Osteoporosis and Fractures PAUL ULLOM-MINNICH, M.D., M.P.H. University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita Wichita, Kansas O steoporosis and low bone density are significant risk factors for morbidity and mortality in older adults. These conditions are characterized by poor bone strength and are associated with an increased risk of fractures from even slightly traumatic events, such as falls from standing height or lower. Vertebral fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis, but hip, Colles' and other fractures are also common. Low bone density may be a silent condition until a complication occurs. Increased attention is being given to the early diagnosis and treatment of low bone density as well as the prevention of fractures. Several medications have recently been labeled for the treatment of osteoporosis, but their marginal benefits require careful consideration of their cost. Osteoporosis and Osteopenia As commonly defined, osteoporosis is a condition in which bone mineral density is 2.5 standard deviations below the average bone density in gender-matched young adults. Osteopenia is a less advanced state of low bone mineral density. The risk of fracture increases two to three times for every 10 percent drop in bone density. Patients with low bone mineral density and multiple risk factors for falling are 27 times more likely to sustain an osteoporotic fracture.

Out of the many books I looked at that are currently available on the subjects, the books reviewed below are the ones I found the most helpful. In the book Food and Our Bones the author focuses on osteoporosis, but she also also discusses bone health and bone density in general. The book Preventing and Reversing Osteoporosis is also intended for people with osteoporosis, but since it covers a variety of bone density treatment factors such as diet, exercise programs, magnesium, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D and zinc, it should also be valuable reading for people with any bone-related health condition such as osteopenia (a precursor condition to osteoporosis), osteomalacia and rickets.

Rib Stress Fractures: Prevention Exercises From a Boathouse Doc article, first published in American Rowing magazine, by: Dean Pinciotti, PT Jeff Erickson, MPT Dr. Timothy Hosea, MD Sports Physical Therapy 743 ALEXANDER ROAD, SUITE #2 PRINCETON, NJ 08540 PHONE (609) 419-0455 FAX (609) 419-0023 SPTRehab@aol.com Rib stress fractures, like any stress fracture are an overuse injury, secondary to excessive stress on the ribs. They generally occur in the 5th to 9th ribs and are associated with periods of intensive training, either on the water or on the ergometer. The primary hallmark of prevention is avoiding excessive loading of the ribs, such as rowing long steady state pieces at a low cadence against the current and into the headwind. In conditions such as those, clams may be utilized to "lighten" the load, and prevent excessive stress on the ribs. Likewise on the ergometer, the damper should not be set higher than 3 for long pieces at a low stroke rate. In addition to modifying training techniques, we would recommend a program of rib strengthening exercises incorporated into their circuit training. The exercises are designed to strength the serratus anterior that is an important scapular stabilizer and with the external oblique is a primary source of rib deformation during the rowing stroke. There are four exercises, which we feel would be helpful in strengthening the ribs and preventing stress fractures.

The keynote of first aid treatment is to prevent movement. Treatment: Difficulty in breathing severe bleeding and unconsciousness must be dealt with before broken bones Treat all fractures in position found if possible. If removal to hospital is imminent, gently support the injured part by hand, place the casualty in a comfortable position, and support with rolled up blankets. If transportation is delayed, immobilise the injured part by securing it to sound part of the body with padding and bandages - as illustrated, arm to body, leg to leg).
