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...

Types of Collisions - II

Types of Collisions - II

When two or more objects collide with each other, they can stick together to form one single composite object (after collision). The total mass of the object after the collision is the sum of the masses of the original objects, and it moves with a velocity dictated by the conservation of momentum. Although the system's total momentum remains constant, the kinetic energy decreases, and thus such a collision is an inelastic collision. Most of the collisions between objects in daily life are...

Burn Injuries

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Flail Chest-II

Flail Chest-II

Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Flail Chest-I

Flail Chest-I

Overview of Flail Chest
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...

Area of Science:

Sports Medicine
Epidemiology of Sports Injuries
Biomechanics in Cricket

Background:

Cricket involves diverse physical activities leading to frequent overuse and impact injuries.
Significant injuries are defined as those causing match time-loss or inability to perform required actions.
This review covers injury epidemiology, biomechanics, treatment, and prevention in cricket.

Purpose of the Study:

To review region-wise cricket injuries.
To analyze injury epidemiology, biomechanics, treatment, and prevention strategies.
To understand trends in cricket-related injuries.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of peer-reviewed articles via PubMed search up to November 2016.
Inclusion of medical, biomechanical, and epidemiological aspects of cricket injuries.
Clinical review at Level 4 evidence.

Main Results:

Bowling (41.3%) and fielding/wicket-keeping (28.6%) are primary injury sources.
Acute injuries (64%-76%) are most frequent, followed by acute-on-chronic and chronic injuries.
Hamstring strain is the most common injury; lumbar stress fractures affect young fast bowlers.

Conclusions:

Advances in medical and surgical treatments have reduced return-to-play times.
Despite increased injury prevalence, overall injury severity has decreased over recent decades.
Improved understanding of cricket injuries aids in better management and prevention.
