The duration of fracture healing is based on the type of injury
suffered by the bones. It can be easily diagnosed in an X-ray.
There are many types of treatments for broken bones but one
of the most advanced treatments is the use of EXOGEN ultrasound machine. The
machine stimulates the cells of the bone to grow fast, so that they can form
granulation tissues to form soft callus. This soft callus forms hard callus.
Several other factors also affect the treatment of fractures
are nutrition, physical health level of the person.
I will definitely say that EXOGEN is a magic machine for
those who are suffering from severe problems of fractured bones.
Stress fracture is a type of injury which cannot be referred
as a complete type so it is classified under the incomplete category. It is a
result of overuse of bones. The repeated stress on the bones may cause it to
get cracked or fractured. It takes place near the ankle, legs or wrist. It occurs commonly in the weight bearing
bones. Bones of lower leg and bones of the foot are the major victims of this
stress injury.
The duration of healing process depends on the extent of
injury. It also depends upon the angle of the fracture or dislocation of bone.
The process of fracture healing occurs in four stages-Haematoma formation,
cellular growth, callus formation and ossification. When there is a fracture in
bone, blood capillaries discharge blood around the fractured bone.
Callus increases the bone thickness as it covers the
fracture area of bone. Osteoblasts keep in check the essential mineral salts
such as calcium and phosphate ions are deposited properly on callus. These
mineral salts helps in strengthening of callus. Osteoclasts help in smoothness
of bones. This is called as the remodeling phase of the healing process.
