Stress Fracture of the Distal Radius
Abstract:
In brief A 14-year-old female gymnast reported pain at the dorsum of her right wrist. Physical examination and radiographs suggested a stress fracture of the wrist physis-an injury reported most often in highly competitive, advanced gymnasts. Radiographs revealed marked widening of the growth plate and haziness within the epiphyseal plate. Treatment involved immobilization of the patient's wrist for 7 weeks until radiographic abnormalities reversed, and physical therapy for 2 weeks to increase wrist flexibility and strength.

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

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...
