Fracture of the Ulnar Bone Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture means that the bone is cracked, but not broken all the way through. Buckle (or torus) fracture: A buckle fracture, also known as a torus fracture, occurs when one side of the bone is compressed or buckled, without fracturing the other side. Metaphyseal fracture: With this type, the fracture injury is confined to the upper/lower part of the shaft, but does not affect the growth plate.

Spinal fractures Fractures: when more pressure is put on a bone than it can stand, it will break. The most common type of spine fracture is a vertebral body compression fracture (Fig. 2). Sudden downward force shatters and collapses the body of the vertebrae.ymptoms of a spinal fracture vary depending on the severity and location of the injury. They include back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, muscle spasm, weakness, bowel/bladder changes, and paralysis. Paralysis is a loss of movement in the arms or legs and may indicate a spinal cord injury.

CEREBRAL CONTUSIONS, DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY, AND THE SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY (TRRAUMATIC AXONAL INJURY). Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a special traumatic lesion, which occurs most frequently in motor vehicle accidents and following blows to the unsupported head. In the course of such injuries, the cerebrum goes into a back and forth gliding motion, pivoting around the upper brainstem.

- A buckle fracture of the wrist is a compression fracture in the forearm bones near the wrist, in which one of the two bones bends toward the other bone, CVS Pharmacy explains. The radius is usually the bone affected, and the injury is more common in children because their bones are more bendable and soft.

Types of Traumatic Brain Injury A concussion, sometimes called a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), is the most common type of brain injury, accounting for hundreds of thousands of emergency room visits each year. Commonly caused by a sudden blow to the head, a concussion jolts your brain, causing the brain to accelerate in the direction of the force.

Overview Goldenhar syndrome is a craniofacial syndrome, which means that it causes certain abnormalities in the formation of the face and head. It is considered a rare disease and a congenital one, meaning it is present at birth. Goldenhar is present in just one out of every 3500 to 25,000 babies at birth (Medscape, 2011).

Head Injuries: Causes and Treatments A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that happens when the brain is jarred or shaken hard enough to bounce against the skull. This can happen when two athletes collide or when someone falls and hits his or her head. It can also result from being hit in the head with a piece of sporting equipment.

- An epidural hematoma occurs when there is bleeding between the dura mater (a tough fibrous layer of tissue between the brain and skull) and the skull bone. These occur when arteries are torn as a result of a blow to the head, and injury in the temple area is a common cause. Although the pattern of a lucid interval followed by later neurological symptoms is characteristic, only a minority of patients display this pattern of symptoms.

- Epidural or extradural hematoma (haematoma) , also known as an epidural hemorrhage, is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in which a buildup of blood occurs between the dura mater (the tough outer membrane of the central nervous system) and the skull.he anatomy of the epidural space means that spinal epidural hematoma has a different profile from cranial epidural hematoma. In the spine, the epidural space contains loose fatty tissue, and the epidural venous plexus, a network of large, thin-walled veins. This means that bleeding is likely to be venous.

Brain Damage: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments Closed head injuries frequently cause diffuse brain damage, which means damage to several areas of the brain. For example, both sides of the brain are damaged and the nerves are stretched throughout the brain. This is called diffuse axonal injury or DAI. The severity of brain damage can vary with the type of brain injury. A mild brain injury may be temporary. It causes headaches, confusion, memory problems, and nausea.

Congenital Brain and Spine Malformations Arachnoid cysts are the most common type of brain cyst. They are congenital lesions that occur as a result of the splitting of the arachnoid membrane. The cysts are fluid-filled sacs, not tumors, appearing in one of the three layers of tissue covering the central nervous system.

Concussion Concussion. Photo by: ia_64. Concussion, or brain concussion, is an injury to the brain caused by a blow to the head or by violent jarring or shaking. It is a form of head trauma that often involves loss of consciousness, which may be momentary or may last for several hours. blow to the head, an injury, a fall, or sudden severe shaking may cause the brain to hit the inside of the skull. If the impact affects the consciousness centers in the brain stem * , then the person with concussion loses consciousness.

What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)? Several types of traumatic injuries can affect the head and brain. A skull fracture occurs when the bone of the skull cracks or breaks. A depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue of the brain. This can cause bruising of the brain tissue, called a contusion.igns of an acute injury include the following: 1  sudden, severe pain. 2  swelling. 3  inability to place weight on a lower limb. 4  extreme tenderness in an upper limb. 5  inability to move a joint through its full range of motion. 6  extreme limb weakness. 7  visible dislocation or break of a bone.

Pneumonia and Vomiting Symptom Checker Arnold-Chiari malformation type 2: A rare malformation where the base of the brain enters into the upper spinal canal. The extent of the deformity is greater in type 2 than type 1 and hence the symptoms are more severe and are often associated with a myelomeningocele (opening of the spine and spinal cord).

Head Injury Head Injury / Concussion. Head injury is a broad term that describes injuries to the scalp, skull, brain, and tissue and blood vessels in the child’s head. Some head injuries are also called brain injury, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), depending on the extent of the head trauma. Concussion is the most common type of TBI. A concussion is caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to shake.

Traumatic Brain Injury Closed brain injury. Closed brain injuries occur when there is a nonpenetrating injury to the brain with no break in the skull. A closed brain injury is caused by a rapid forward or backward movement and shaking of the brain inside the bony skull that results in bruising and tearing of brain tissue and blood vessels.

Scleral Buckle Surgery The axial scleral buckle surgery that is performed by Dr. Ward will not stop or cure the macular degeneration. The buckle is a small support for the back of the eye that holds and slows down its growth. The only benefit is that this might slow down the acceleration of the degenerative process.

Concussion A concussion may occur when the head hits an object, or a moving object strikes the head. A concussion is a minor or less severe type of brain injury, which may also be called a traumatic brain injury. A concussion can affect how the brain works for a awhile. It may lead to headaches, changes in alertness, or loss of consciousness. A concussion can result from a fall, sports activities, or car accidents. A big movement of the brain (called jarring) in any direction can cause a person to lose alertness (become unconscious). How long the person stays unconscious may be a sign of how bad the concussion is. Concussions do not always lead to loss of consciousness.

Scleral buckle [edit on Wikidata] A scleral buckle is one of several ophthalmologic procedures that can be used to repair a retinal detachment. Retinal detachments are usually caused by retinal tears, and a scleral buckle can be used to close the retinal break. The use of scleral buckling will occasionally limit pupil dilation or constriction with no clinically significant pattern. Scleral buckles come in many shapes and sizes.
