Importance of Bone Health

Keeping our bones healthy is crucial to maintaining overall health. The bones support the body's structure, protect and shield all organs, anchor muscles, and, last but not least, store calcium. By maintaining good bone health, we can prevent osteoporosis, fractures, and other degenerative bone diseases.

Factors Affecting Bone Health

Several factors can affect bone health;

Nutrition: Good calcium and Vitamin D consumption are essential for strong bones.
Exercise: Specifically, weight-bearing exercise can help maintain bone density.
Poor Lifestyle Choices: Smoking and consuming large amounts of alcohol can cause bones to weaken.
Hormonal Levels: As we age, hormonal levels can impact bone loss, particularly in women who have gone through menopause.

Bone Health Tips

Keep Your Bones Healthy, Tips:

Eat a healthy diet with plenty of calcium and Vitamin D.
Exercise regularly, especially weight-bearing exercises.
Do not smoke and control your alcohol consumption.
Regular bone density screenings can largely accomplish this, so if you have risk factors for osteoporosis, you should ask your doctor about getting one.

Understanding Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, especially in children and adults who have skeletal deformities. This includes diseases of the bones, joints, and muscles, such as arthritis, bursitis, and gout, as well as disorders of the ligaments, tendons, nerves, skin, etc.

Common Orthopaedic Conditions

Orthopaedic conditions can be acute injuries such as fractures or chronic degenerative diseases and both may need help against the pain that comes from these ailments. Conditions such as the following are very familiar:

Arthritis: Aching, swollen joints that need not have anything to do with age.
Osteoporosis: Fragile, often broken bones.
Fractures: They are broken bones, either due to injury or weakened bone structure.
Tendonitis: Tendons become inflamed, resulting in pain and limited range of motion.
Bursitis: Inflammation of bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints.

Fracture Management at Medicover Hospitals

Do not delay the doctor to diagnose a fracture. We at Medicover Hospitals, Karimnagar follow time-tested fracture management protocols for a quick healing process and rehabilitation.

Types of Fractures

Fractures can be of varying degrees in size and type. Common types include:

Closed Fractures: The bone does not break the skin.
Compound Fractures: These are bone breaks through the skin (i.e., exposure of broken bones), which can be associated with open fractures and an increased risk for infection.
Comminuted Fractures: The bone breaks up into several pieces.
Stress Fractures: Small breaks in the bone caused by repetitive force or overuse.

Diagnostic Procedures

Correct diagnosis is the initial stage of efficient fracture treatment. To determine the location of a fracture, we use X-rays and CT scans to determine its severity.

Treatment Approaches

Fracture treatment can include:

Immobilisation: Casts and splints to hold parts of the bone in a fixed position while they heal.
Reduction: This happens when we put the bone pieces so that they return to their place.
Treatment for severe fractures: Surgical procedures like internal fixation (using metal rods, screws or plates) may be required when treating serious cracks.
Rehabilitation: Traditional methods, followed by exercise and physical therapy, are used to restore the muscles' strength and functions.
