Injuries and poisonings

Sternum fracture: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Breast fractures are rare. Breast fractures occur mainly with a direct mechanism of injury. Displacement of fragments is often insignificant, but it can also be on bone thickness.

Rib fracture: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fractures of the ribs can occur both with the direct mechanism of injury, and with the indirect. An example of the latter can serve as compression of the chest in the anteroposterior direction, leading to fracture of the ribs in the lateral sections.

False joint: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

A false joint is a diagnosis that excludes hopes of cure by conservative methods. Their use in pseudoarthrosis is not justified and only prolongs the already prolonged periods of treatment.

Posterior cruciate ligament injuries: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Damage of the posterior cruciate ligament is one of the most serious injuries of the capsular-ligament apparatus of the knee joint. They are encountered much less often than ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament, they account for 3-20% of all knee joint injuries.

Meniscus damage: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Menisci are fibro-cartilaginous formations of a semilunar form. On a cut have the form of a triangle. The thick edge of the meniscus is turned on the outside and fused with the capsule of the joint, and thinned - inside the joint. The upper surface of the meniscus is concave, and the lower surface is almost flat.

Scapula fracture: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Fractures of the scapula constitute 0.3-1.5% of all bone lesions of the skeleton. The fracture line can pass through various anatomical formations of the scapula. In connection with this, the fractures of the body, the awning of the scapula and its corners are identified.

Dislocation of the foot: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Dislocations in the ankle joint, as a rule, are combined with fractures of the ankles or anterior and posterior margins of the tibia. Isolated dislocations of the segments of the foot or its individual bones are relatively rare.

Shin dislocation: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Dislocations of the tibia account for 1-1.5% of the total number of dislocations. Depending on the dislocation of the lower leg, as a result of trauma, we distinguish the posterior, anterior, external, internal dislocations. The rear dislocations of the lower leg are more common.

Hip dislocation: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Traumatic dislocation of the hip is from 3 to 7% of the total number of dislocations. In the first place in the frequency is iliac hip dislocation (85%), then sciatic, blocking, in the last place - the abdominal dislocation of the hip.

Dislocation of the finger of the hand: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Dislocations in the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints are rare. The exception is the metacarpophalangeal articulation of the first finger. Therefore, further we will talk about the dislocation of the first finger of the brush.
