Abstract:
Whitewater kayaking is a rapidly growing form of extreme sport with a high risk potential for upper-body injuries, mainly concerning the head and torso. Direct impact traumata, such as a creek bone fracture, require an operation. The follow up treatment is aimed to prevent any loading from taking place. If necessary, a special facemask can be made to avoid injuries resulting from direct contact with hard surfaces. A suitable helmet for kayaking should include facial protection, which is not very common.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
