PICTURE OF WART

Wart Picture

Warts are small, benign growths caused by a viral infection of the skin or mucous
membrane. The virus infects the surface layer. The viruses that cause warts are members of
the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts are not cancerous but some strains of HPV,
usually not associated with warts, have been linked with cancer formation. Warts are
contagious from person to person and from one area of the body to another on the same
person.

Compression fracture back picture

Complete list of fracture information

A compression fracture is a fractue of one of the vertebrae in the back
or rarely the neck. Most often these happen because of a fall landing
on the feet or butt causing an upward shock to the spine. These types of
fractures often cause a collapse in the vertebrae.

LUMBAR COMPRESSION FRACTURES /TITLEGT;

Lumbar Compression fracture

Complete list of fracture information

The lumbar area of the spine is the lower section or lower part of the
back. Lumbar
Compression fractures occur when the vertebrae in the spine collapse from their normal
height of an inch or so to about half that size. These fractures often
effect two or more vertebrae. Most often they are caused by someone
falling and landing on their feet or butt.

-

COMPRESSION FRACTURE

Compression fractures

Complete list of fracture information

Compression fractures occur when the vertebrae in the spine collapse from their normal
height of an inch or so to about half that size. This is most often caused
from a hard fall where someone lands on the feet or butt causing an impact
to travel up the spine. This causes the vertebrae to collapse. You can see
in the picture how the impact causes the vertebrae to fracture. Because the
impact is upward and not a blow to the side of the spine it often include
two or more vertebrae collapsing. Besides a hard fall many compression
fractures are caused by osteoporosis. As this disease weakens the bones it
does not take to had an impact to cause a compression fracture.

ACETABULAR FRACTURES PICTURE

Acetabular Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

An acetabular fracture is a fracture of the acetabulum. The acetabulum is
located at the lower out side of the pelvis. It is the cup shaped part of
the hip where the ball shaped end of the femur fits to create the hip joint.
You can see its location in the picture below. This type of fracture is
usually caused by a significant trauma to pelvis such as a had fall on a
hard service or a car accident. Most often this is seen in the elderly as
the bone is softened by osteoporosis. This is less common that most other
hip or pelvic fractures.

There are two common patterns of trauma in acetabular
fractures

• a blow from the side - e.g. a fall


• a posterior dislocation of the hip - e.g. a blow on the knee from a car crash

Acetabular fractures are particularly complex because they combine:

• the complications of pelvic fractures - notably vascular damage


• the complications of joint disruption - notably articular cartilage damage, malcongruent
  loading and secondary arthritis

Ankle Avulsion Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

Ankle Avulsion Fracture

An avulsion fracture occurs when an injury causes a ligament
or tendon to tear off (avulse) a small piece of a bone to which it's attached. The injury
may be due to direct trauma, such as a hard tackle in football, or indirect trauma, such
as an aggressive pivot in soccer or basketball. This type of fracture can also be
associated with serious injury to the involved ligament or tendon. An
avulsion fracture can happen anywhere a tendon or ligament attaches to
the bone. The ankle is one of the most common areas to get this type of
fracture. It is hard to show a picture of this type of fracture so we
have included an image that show the location of the tendons and
ligaments of the foot and ankle.

ANKLE FRACTURE PICTURE

Ankle Fracture Picture
Complete list of fracture information

An ankle fracture can happen on one or more of
three different bones These are the three bones of the leg which include
the tibia, fibula and talus bones. The fracture can effect one or more
of these bones. To be an ankle fracture the area of the bone has
to be at the lower end of the bone. If it is any higher then it becomes
a leg fracture. Ankle fractures are most often caused by a direct blow
to the ankle, falling on your ankle, a hard twist to the ankle or a car
accident. The pictured above show the common areas of an ankle fracture.
the red arrows show the crack in the bone.

Arm Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

The arm and wrist are the most common areas for fracture. This is
because we use our arm to catch us when we fall. It is also a common area to
receive a blow or other type of trauma. You see these types of fractures in
accidents, on the sports field ,or in accidents such as car or bike and with any
kind of fall where you use your arm to catch yourself. Unfortunately one of the
most common causes is child abuse. There are three bones in the arm which are
the humerus, radius and ulna. You can see the location of these in the picture
to the right. The ulna is the most common of arm fractures since it is the
thinnest. The picture to the above right shows a compound fracture to the arm.
Most fractures to the arm are just cracks in the bone.

Avulsion Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

Avulsion Fracture picture


An avulsion fracture occurs when an injury
causes a ligament or tendon to tear off a small piece of a bone to which it's
attached. One of the most common is where the tendons that connect to on of the
lower arm bones breaks off. This area is just below the elbow. It is also called
an elbow fracture because off how close it is to the elbow. This is because of
the stress put on the area from heavy lifting or from catching your self in a
fall that puts a sudden trauma to the connection. Another common cause is auto
accidents. This is especially true to those driving the vehicle because the
elbow area takes much of the stress of the accident as the hands hold the
stearing wheel as the body is propelled forward.

A Bennett's fracture refers to a fracture of the base of the thumb metacarpal, which is
the bone in the main part of your hand at the base of the thumb This type of
fracture can be difficult to treat because it happens at the edge of a
joint.. Most often a Bennett's fracture is caused by an accident or sports
injury that causes trauma to the base of the thumb. It is also often caused
by something heavy falling on the thumb side o the hand. You can see an
outline of a Bennett's fracture located at the base of the thumb in the

Blowout Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

The part of the scull that surrounds the eye is thick and strong and is
hard to fracture. Below the eye is the orbital floor. This is a very thin
section of bone. A blow out fracture is when the orbital floor is fracture.
This usually happens because of blow to the eye with something larger than
the eye socket. The picture above has an arrow pointing to the orbital
floor. A fracture here can cause the orbital floor to rupture and create a
hole that the eye muscles can get caught in and effect both eye movement and
vision.

If the fracture is simple and does not effect the eye muscles,
the fracture is usually treated with cold compresses. Nasal decongestants me
be prescribed to keep the sinus open to help keep from blowing your nose
which puts pressure on this area. If the blowout fracture effects the eye
muscles you will most likely be referred to a reconstructive surgeon to
repair the damage.

Boxer's Fracture Picture

Complete list of fracture information

A boxer's fracture is the common name for a fracture in the bone closest to
the wrist in the small or pinky finger. It is called this because it is a common
fracture that boxers get during a fight. It most often comes from punching
something hard. It can also be caused by something striking the side of the
hand. The picture above has a black arrow pointed at the fracture. If you make a
fist you will see that the metacarpal bones ( the first bone above the wrist)
are facing outward. The small finger bone is the easiest to fracture because it
is on the outside of the hand and does not have the support of the other bones
around it.

The main stay of treatment is to immobilize the bone so that it can heal.
This is usually done with a splint. One of the more common treatments is to
sprint the small finger with the ring finger. If the fracture is serious enough
as the bone is broken in to multiple pieces surgery may be required to fix the
bone.

Broken Ankle Picture

Complete list of fracture information

The ankle is made up of three bones which are the tibia and the fibula of
the lower leg and the talus that is at the top of the foot. A broken ankle
is a crack or break in any of these three bones. The picture above points
out a break in the fibula on the left side and a break in the tibia on the
left. Breaks in more than one of the bones is unusual and are cause most
often by serious trauma to the ankle.

If your Broken Ankle involves only one of the bones. Usually
the bones are still lined up and can be treated by casting for around eight
weeks.

If you have more extensive damage to your ankle, or the
fragments of broken bone are separated far from one another, your doctor
will repair your fractured ankle surgically with special screws or wires.

A coccyx fracture is the technical name for a broken tailbone. The coccyx is the lowest part of the backbone
or spine. It is small, triangular in shape, and consists of four fused vertebra, or spine
bones. It is located at the end of the spinal column. A coccyx fracture
almost always is cause by someone falling strait down on their butt in a sitting
position causing an impact to the coccyx. The coccyx is mostly protected from a
front, back or side impact by the pelvis. The picture above shows the location

There are three bones in each of the four fingers. In the picture each type
of bone in the hand is shown in a different color. The end bones of the finger
is least likely to break as there is no place to put a lot of pressure on it.
However it is common to damage the joint below it. When there is a crack or
break in any of these twelve bones then you have a broken finger. There are
three common causes for a broken finger. These are slamming something with your
fist, having a hard object hit your fingers or catching yourself in a fall.
