A child bone fracture or a pediatric fracture is a medical condition in which a bone of a child (a person younger than the age of 18) is cracked or broken. [1] About 15% of all injuries in children are fracture injuries. [2]
Atrophic non-union results in re-absorption and rounding of bone ends [6] due to inadequate blood supply and excessive mobility of the bone ends. [4] Mal-union: healing occurs but the healed bone has 'angular deformity, translation, or rotational alignment that requires surgical correction'. This is most common in long bones such as the femur.

The bruise then remains visible until the blood is either absorbed by tissues or cleared by immune system action. Bruises which do not blanch under pressure can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone. [4] [5] Bruises are not to be confused with other similar-looking lesions.
The facial bones. Commonly injured facial bones include the nasal bone (the nose), the maxilla (the bone that forms the upper jaw), and the mandible (the lower jaw). The mandible may be fractured at its symphysis, body, angle, ramus, and condyle. [4] The zygoma (cheekbone) and the frontal bone (forehead) are other sites for fractures. [13]
Linear fracture – a fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis; Transverse fracture – a fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis; Oblique fracture – a fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis (more than 30°) Spiral fracture – a fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted
A soft tissue injury is the damage of muscles, ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Common soft tissue injuries usually occur from a sprain, strain, a one-off blow resulting in a contusion or overuse of a particular part of the body.
An MRI exam Thursday revealed the bone bruise. Prior to leaving the game, Bridges tied a season-high with 27 points while also grabbing seven rebounds. He was off to a slow start in the Hornets ...
Bone pain originates from both the periosteum and the bone marrow which relay nociceptive signals to the brain creating the sensation of pain. Bone tissue is innervated by both myelinated (A beta and A delta fiber) and unmyelinated sensory neurons. In combination, they can provide an initial burst of pain, initiated by the faster myelinated ...
