A Quick Guide to Principles of Fracture Management

Image
  Fractures are common, and people of all age groups, regardless of gender, are prone to experiencing them. In fact, most of us will likely encounter a fracture at least once in our lifetime. The severity of a fracture and the required treatment depend on its cause. Severe fractures often necessitate trauma implants and instruments such as the hand fracture system, bone plates, screws, and other specialized equipment. On the other hand, mild fractures can often be managed with closed reduction techniques. Effective fracture management is crucial in ensuring proper healing, and doctors follow a set of principles to guide this process. In this blog, we will delve into these principles and explore the key aspects of fracture management. Read on to learn more.

What is the Reason for Bone Loss?

  Bones are the structural components of our body, and along with this, they perform several functions as well. Bones are also known as a storehouse of calcium and serve as protective structures for vital organs. Thus, maintaining strong & healthy bones should be the priority. As we age, our bones start to become weak as they lose calcium and other minerals. Bone loss that occurs due to aging is normal and if it is controlled, it is not known to cause many complications. If the bone loss occurs at a rapid rate, the chance of fracture becomes high, and that too without any reason. To fix such conditions orthopedic implants like variable angle plates may be required.

What Do You Need to Know About Thoracolumbar Fractures?

Image
  Thoracolumbar fractures happen in the mid-to-lower back. The most common injury site is between the 11th thoracic and 1st lumbar vertebrae, where the rigid upper back meets the flexible lower back. The cause decides how severe the fracture will be and what will be its pattern. Well, fracture generally occurs because of high-energy trauma. Severe cases of the condition require surgery using spine implants and instruments.

How to Care for an External Fixator System? An Expert Guide.

  An external fixator when attached to your limb feels irritating. However, with proper care, you can navigate daily life with confidence while your bone heals beneath the watchful eye of this external support system. In this blog, we will have a quick look at how you can care for your external fixation device to avoid any complications.

An Educational Guide to Patella Fractures

Image
  The kneecap is known as the patella and any break occurring at this bone is known as a patella fracture . Located in the knee, the patella is a flat bone that provides protection and stability. This bone is susceptible to fractures resulting from high-energy impacts, such as those encountered in car accidents or contact sports.

What Affects Bone Health?

Image
  Bones play a vital role in providing strength to our body and performing many other functions. When our bones are weak, we feel tired and there is a high risk of fractures. Besides this, the chances of orthopedic conditions like osteoporosis also increase. In the case of serious fractures, surgical intervention is required and that often involves the use of trauma implants such as Radial Head Prosthesis, Hip Implants, Orthopedic Implant Plates, PFNA nail, or others depending upon the severity and location of the fracture that occurred. Thus, it is important to do everything possible to maintain bone strength and mineral density. There are several factors that could affect our bone health and this is what we are going to discuss in the post.

How Augmented Reality is Revolutionizing the Field of Orthopedics?

  The human body is a complex machine, and the musculoskeletal system, with its network of bones, joints, and muscles, is no exception. Orthopedic surgeons navigate this complexity daily, treating injuries, correcting deformities, and restoring mobility using Orthopedic Implants and Instruments. But what if they had a digital X-ray vision to guide them? This is where augmented reality (AR) steps in, poised to transform orthopedic treatment and surgery.

How Physical Therapy Helps After Orthopedic Implant Surgery?

  Orthopedic implant surgery can be a life-changing procedure, restoring mobility and reducing pain. However, the road to recovery involves more than just the surgery itself. Physical therapy is a crucial component of post-operative care, playing a vital role in restoring function, strength, and flexibility. In this blog, we will see how physical therapy helps promote better and quicker healing.
