Fractures: Bone Repair

5.2K
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...

    Summary

    A hamate fracture in a US Navy sailor initially showed no healing after cast immobilization. Physical therapy led to partial healing, allowing continued treatment for this wrist injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Sports medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Hamate fractures are uncommon wrist injuries often resulting from falls.
    • Nondisplaced fractures typically require conservative management, but healing can be delayed.
