Stress – Strain Force (N) Deformation (cm)
Fracture Types • SIMPLE • Break or crack is detectable, no separation of bones • Stress, minor blow • COMPOUND • Bone breaks into separate pieces • Major blow • COMMINUTED • Bones have shattered into smaller pieces • Automobile accident
Spiral or Oblique: bending or torsional loads fracture bone at oblique angle to long axis Avulsion: a tendon or ligament pulls the bone away (e.g., tensile loading during explosive jumping or throwing) Greenstick: incomplete fracture common in children due to larger proportion of collagen; bending loads Fracture Types
Stress Fractures: repetitive low-level loading, with inadequate time for bone remodeling Common sites: tibia, metatarsals, femoral neck, pubic bone Often due to abrupt changes in training duration or intensity, or a lack of proper nutrition Fracture Types
Sharp pain and tenderness. • Swelling. • Discolouration of skin. • Grating or grinding movement. Symptoms of a Fracture
Healing takes place in the same fashion as bone growth Should heal effectively, if appropriate actions are taken (casting or immobilization time) Infections and misalignment lead to irregular growth and prolonged recovery Healing
Rickets = Deficient mineralization in children. Bone growth and repair are compromised. Osteomalacia = Same as rickets but for adults. Hypophosphatasia = Enzyme deficiency. Bone Diseases
Osteomyelitis = Infectious organisms (including tumours) that attack the bone and compromise strength. Bone Diseases Continued
OsteogenesisImperfecta = Connective tissue (periosteum) is affected. -aka “brittle bone” disease Bone Diseases Continued…
Bone Diseases…Kyphosis Kyphosis = Stooped posture caused by collapsed vertebrae in elderly.
“porous bone” Degenerative condition that involves low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue Leads to bone fragility and increased risk of fracture (hip, spine and wrist) OSTEOPOROSIS…”Silent Disease”
Building strong bones during childhood and adolescence is the best defense. • A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. • Weight bearing exercise. • A healthy lifestyle – no smoking or excessive alcohol. • Bone density testing and medication when appropriate. * There is still no cure for Osteoporosis * Preventing Osteoporosis
Disordered eating habits • Amenorrhea • Osteoporosis • Break easily, slow healing • Lack of calcium • 1300 mg recommended daily for teenage female athletes The Female Triad
