What is a nondisplaced fracture involving the greater tuberosity?

nondisplaced fracture//the bone cracks with the broken peices still in alignment.

Tuberosity//knoblike process.

Process// prominant projection.

There are many tuberosities on many of our bones. When you say greater, I assume it is in the femur, the "Greater Trochanter"? The femur has a gluteal tuberosity below the Greater Trochanter. Either way its a cracked bone where the tuberosity is or was.

Your radius is in your forearm. You have two bones in the forearm - the radius and the ulna. If you place your hand palm facing upwards towards the ceiling your radius bone is on the side of your thumb. Distal means at a point further from the attachement to the body, meaning closer to the wrist than the elbow. Displaced means out of place, meaning the broken bone has been knocked out of its usual position. So, putting it all together a displaced distal radius fracture is a break in your forearm bone on the side of the thumb which has been knocked out of its regular position by the break.

How do you deal with a simple fracture?

It depends on the bone that was fractured. Treatment for simple closed non-displaced long bone fractures would be immobilisation. Simple fracture of the frontal bone of the skull touching the frontal sinuses would include preventive antibiotics. Simple fracture of a rib would be treated with pain medication. Simple fracture of a vertebra would require a corset. So there is no on single correct answer.


Does a medial tibial fracture normally need surgery to repair?

Not necessarily, it very much depends on different factors such as: exact type of fracture, whether there is any displacement of the fracture, the age and functional expectations of the patient etc. If you are talking about a displaced medial tibial plateaux fracture (Shatzker grade 4) in a young active person, then YES it would need to be fixed. An undisplaced fracture in an elderly patient with limited mobility probably would not need fixed surgically but treated in a cast brace.

How long to heal the ischium fracture?

I recently sustained a pelvic fracture to my right ischium. I was told it is a non-displaced fracture and that I am looking at a 6-8 week recovery time. This happened a week ago and I have spent the majority of the past week in bed and when I am up, I have been using crutches so that I am not putting weight on my pelvis. I have also been taking Oxycodone and Hydrocodone with the pain around the clock for the past week.
