Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
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...

Reflex Activity

Reflex Activity

A reflex activity is an automatic, involuntary response to specific stimuli. It is a part of our survival mechanism, designed to protect us from potential harm. For example, when a bright light suddenly shines into our eyes, we instinctively close them or look away. This is a simple reflex activity orchestrated by the nervous system without conscious thought or effort.
A reflex exam is a diagnostic procedure performed by a healthcare professional to evaluate the functionality of a patient's...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection

Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.

Summary

Running injuries account for a small percentage of general medical consultations in Denmark. Injured runners do seek primary care, but low survey response rates may skew findings.

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
General Practice
Epidemiology

Background:

General Medical Practitioners (GMPs) in Denmark manage musculoskeletal pain.
The proportion of consultations due to running-related injuries is currently unknown.

Purpose of the Study:

To estimate the prevalence of running-related injury consultations in general practice.
To determine referral rates for injured runners consulting GMPs.

Main Methods:

A survey-based study design was employed.
An online survey was sent to over 370 Danish GMPs in October-November 2015, with 27 responses.
Level of Evidence: 3.

Main Results:

The median prevalence of running injury consultations was 0.80% over two weeks.
Referral rates varied: 37% of GMPs referred 0-24%, 48% referred 25-49%, and 15% referred 50-74% of injured runners.

Conclusions:

Running injuries represent a small fraction (<1%) of GMP consultations, indicating injured runners access primary care.
Physiotherapists should inform local GMPs about treatment options for running injuries.
Low GMP response rates may lead to overestimated prevalence due to selection bias.
