Injuries and poisonings

Brain contusion: symptoms, treatment

A brain contusion is a more severe brain injury, accompanied by macroscopic morphological changes in the brain tissue. Depending on the nature and severity of the injury, brain contusions can be quite varied - from relatively mild single ones to severe multiple ones affecting vital structures.

Concussion

Concussion is a traumatic brain injury. In most cases, it is mild and accounts for an average of 70-80% of neurosurgical injuries.

Funnel chest

Funnel chest (pectus excavalus) is a developmental defect in the form of a depression of the sternum and ribs, accompanied by various functional disorders of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

Congenital muscular torticollis.

Congenital muscular torticollis is a persistent shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, accompanied by a tilt of the head and limited mobility in the cervical spine, and in severe cases, deformation of the skull, spine, and shoulders.

Congenital kyphosis

Kyphosis is a curvature of the spine in the sagittal plane with the formation of a posteriorly facing convexity. Kyphosis based on anomalies in the formation of the vertebrae is the most common type of congenital kyphosis, accounting for 61 to 76%.

Congenital scoliosis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spinal column, combined with its torsion. Scoliosis is most often encountered due to anomalies in the formation of vertebrae. Such anomalies include wedge-shaped vertebrae and hemivertebrae.

Fracture of wrist bones: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Wrist bone fractures account for 1% of all fractures of the rest of the skeleton. The scaphoid bone is most often affected, then the lunate bone, and much less often all other wrist bones.

Fractures of the femoral condyles and tibia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fractures of the femoral and tibia condyles are classified as intra-articular injuries of the knee joint.

Fracture of the coronary process of the ulna: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna is rare. The cause of occurrence, as a rule, is an indirect mechanism of injury - a fall on an extended arm or a sharp contraction of the shoulder muscle, which causes a fragment of the coronoid process to break off.

Fracture of the first metacarpal: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Particular attention is paid to this bone because the first metacarpal bone is located separately from the others, is very mobile, and is involved in adduction, abduction, and opposition of the first finger. In functional terms, it is equated to the other four fingers.
