Symptoms
Many fractures are very painful and may prevent you from moving the injured area.

Treatment Options for Bone Fractures

This section outlines various treatment methods available for managing bone fractures, from conservative approaches to surgical interventions.

Definition: Cast immobilization involves using plaster or fiberglass to keep broken bones properly aligned during healing.

Highlight: External fixation uses metal pins or screws connected to an external frame, particularly useful in cases with significant soft tissue damage.

Example: Internal fixation can involve the use of screws, plates, or rods to maintain bone alignment, as demonstrated in femoral fracture treatment.

Blood Loss Assessment and Facial Fractures

This section addresses the critical aspect of blood loss associated with different types of fractures and details various facial fracture patterns.

Highlight: The human body contains 5-6 liters of blood, with pelvic fractures presenting the highest risk of significant blood loss due to the proximity of the femoral artery.

Example: Blood loss can range from 0.5-1.0 liters in forearm fractures to 1.5-4.5 liters in pelvic fractures.

Definition: Nasal bone fractures are the most common type of facial fracture due to the thin and prominent nature of these bones.

Facial Fracture Symptoms and Bone Diseases

This section details specific symptoms associated with different types of facial fractures and introduces common bone diseases.

Vocabulary: Diplopia refers to double vision, a common symptom of orbital fractures.

Highlight: Orbital fractures can affect vision and eye movement, while jaw fractures typically impact eating and speaking abilities.

Definition: Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone density and quality, particularly affecting post-menopausal women due to decreased estrogen levels.

Bone Diseases: Osteoporosis and Osteomyelitis

This chapter explores common bone diseases, their causes, and implications.

Definition: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by reduced bone density and quality, particularly affecting post-menopausal women.

Vocabulary: Osteoclasts are cells that break down bone tissue, while osteoblasts are responsible for new bone formation.

The text explains the relationship between hormones and bone health, particularly focusing on estrogen's role during menopause.

Chapter 7: Skeletal Injury Symptoms and Classification

This section details the fundamental aspects of skeletal injuries and their classification. The text explains various symptoms and types of fractures that medical professionals need to identify.

Definition: A fracture is a break in bone continuity that can be either open bonepenetratingskinbone penetrating skin or closed boneremainingwithintissuebone remaining within tissue.

Highlight: The DCAP-BTLS assessment method is crucial for evaluating skeletal injuries: Deformity, Contusions, Abrasions, Punctures, Burns, Tenderness, Lacerations, and Swelling.

Example: Different fracture types include spiral, transverse, comminuted, impacted, greenstick, and oblique fractures, each with distinct characteristics.

Vocabulary: MOI MechanismofInjuryMechanism of Injury refers to the specific cause or force that resulted in the skeletal injury.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
