• Hypertension

  Severe cases may cause pulmonary hypertension and acute cor pulmonale. 5 Management Treatment is generally supportive. Other treatable causes of neurological decline such as diffuse edema, contusions, or herniation should be ruled out. [emdocs.net]

• Contusion

  Other treatable causes of neurological decline such as diffuse edema, contusions, or herniation should be ruled out. Most are hypovolemic and require volume resuscitation. Supplemental oxygen or ventilatory support are often needed. [emdocs.net]

  Mild contusions with local bone trauma will heal easily, whereas severely comminuted injuries with extensive soft tissue damage heal poorly. [boneandspine.com]

  […] data for groups A and B were skull fractures in 33 versus 24, cranial bones only in 24 versus 18, subdural hematoma in 30 versus 16, subarachnoid hemorrhage in 28 versus 13, diffuse brain edema in 23 versus 32, and lobe and intracerebral hemorrhage contusion [karger.com]

• Bone Disorder

  An injury that results from the effects of an underlying problem with the bone is known as a pathologic fracture. The most common causes of pathologic bone fractures are arthritis, osteoporosis, genetic bone disorders, and cancer. [drallison.org]

  They may also result from overuse of tendons and certain bone disorders such as infection that can affect the normal growth and development of the bone. [motion-ortho.com]

• Suggestibility

  Results are suggestive of a possible interaction between IGF-I and bone repair processes as other investigators have suggested on the basis of animal experiments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Kidney Failure

  Metabolic diseases – Diseases such as kidney failure and hormonal disturbances affect the proper functioning of the growth plates and increase susceptibility to fractures. [motion-ortho.com]

The aim of this study was to determine the rates of long-bone fractures and the proportion of misalignments as indicators of failed treatment or no treatment at all in skeletons from the Giza Necropolis dating to the Old Kingdom period (2700-2190 BC). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

RESULTS: After adjusting for age, gender, race, insurance, and comorbidities, the HR of mortality was 2.89 (95% CI, 2.56-3.28; p CONCLUSIONS: This data suggests that open fracture carries a worse prognosis compared to closed fracture at the same anatomical [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus, they have a different prognosis and need to be treated differently. [bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com]

Prognosis The older you are, the longer it takes to recover from a fracture. Children heal better and more rapidly, so that often after several years there is no visible trace of a fracture on X-rays. [whenithurtstomove.org]

In our patient, however, the constellation of long bone fractures, sudden hypoxemic respiratory failure, and focal neurologic findings suggested a specific etiology: fat embolism syndrome (FES). [emdocs.net]

Strategies to prevent it and or identify early its development are desirable in order to improve the clinical course of the affected patients and their outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Also, the injured person is given a vaccine to prevent tetanus and antibiotics to prevent infection. [merckmanuals.com]

In other words, NSAIDS may prevent or delay bone healing. These results, however, have not been tested prospectively in humans. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Wearing protective gear, such as pads, braces, or a helmet, can all help you prevent a future fracture. [healthline.com]
