How Does Broken Bone Heal?

The fractured bone heals by different stages.
healing starts by hematoma and ends by remodeling
this Educational video describing the mechanisms and stages of fracture healing by secondary bone healing. it will explain both types of bone healing.
Primary bone healing
Cutting cone mechanism
There is no motion at the fracture site. Seen in rigid fixation of fractures such as in plate fixation. Minimal callus formation.
What is a cutting cone?
Osteoclasts at the front remove the dead bone. Osteoblasts lay down new bone at the site of the old bone. Osteoclast eat up or dissolve the bone tissue with their powerful enzyme systems. Osteoblasts lay down new bone stimulated by hormones and growth factors.
Cutting cones are formed that cross the fracture site. This is a slow process often taking months to years to complete.
Contact healing
Contact between the fracture ends allows healing to begin immediately.
Gap healing
•Larger gaps do not heal very well.
•Could be filled with fibrous tissue.
Secondary bone healing
Endochondral mechanism
•Seen in flexible fixation of fractures such as fractures stabilized by rods and casts. Occurs with abundant callus.
•Undergoes endochondral ossification.
•Chondrocytes hypertrophy and degenerates then calcify followed by vascular invasion and ossification.
Stages of fracture healing
1-Hematoma
2-Inflammation
3-Soft callus
4-Hard callus: woven bone = hard callus
5-Remodeling: remodeling is a process by which immature or woven bone is converted to mature or lamellar bone. The meduallry cavity is reconstituted and bone is reconstructed in response to stress. There is more remodeling potential in children.

The lower back comprises the lumbar spine, which is formed by vertebral bones, intervertebral discs, nerves, muscles, ligaments, and blood vessels. The spinal cord ends at the top of the lumbar spine, and the remaining nerve roots, called the cauda equina, descend down the remainder of the spinal canal.

What Causes A Headache Behind Your Eyes?

The most common problem causing pain, or what some people describe as a “headache behind the eyes” is related to vision. The lens of the eye may not able to focus light correctly on the retina. When this happens, your brain compensates by tightening muscles around the eyes. After a while, these muscles become strained, triggering discomfort.

There may be a number of other causes for pain behind the eyes, which can last a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days. To relieve the pain, you first have to identify its cause.

Here are the most common probabilities.

Chronic Headaches

Pain behind the eyes can also be part of a headache that affects a larger part of your head. There are several different categories of headaches that may be factors.
So called “cluster” headaches can be the most maddening and debilitating of all. Cluster headaches occur in cyclical patterns or cluster periods. A cluster headache can be bad enough at night to wake you up — or keep you up — with intense pain. The excruciating pain of cluster headaches often occurs behind or around one eye, but may radiate to other areas of your face, head, and neck.
Migraines are another type of headache that cause pain behind your eyes. Migraines can be so severe they cause a visual aura: you see flashes of light, zigzagging patterns, or even blind spots.

Other reasons could include the following.

Cancer

Of course, tumors near the brain are sometimes a factor.

Sinusitis

Sinusitis and other infections and conditions that affect the respiratory system can cause a headache behind the eyes.

Tension

Tension, stress, anxiety, fatigue, and lack of sleep can all contribute to pain behind your eyes.

Graves’ Disease

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. Pain behind the eyes is a symptom.

Optic Neuritis

Optic neuritis (ON) is due to the inflammation of the optic nerve, usually caused by an infection or nerve disease.

Finally, sometimes, pain behind the eyes results from malfunctioning blood vessels in your brain. These are caused by chemical changes in brain hormones.

CDC guidelines aimed at curbing opioid addiction causing problems for chronic pain patients

back and hip No Comments »

It can sometimes be tough to talk about, but addiction is an issue that impacts every community across the country.

On a day when it’s 70 degrees and sunny outside, it’s all Kevin Brawley can do to sit on his front porch.

“I’m treated like an addict,” said Brawley. “They say I’m medically dependent.”

A tree trimmer by trade Brawley was legally disabled after an accident that took place more than two decades ago.

“I broke my neck working for a tree company,” said Brawley. “The ladder came 50 feet out of the air and hit me straight in the top of the head. It broke my neck. It blew five discs in my upper back, two or three in my lower back, and it jammed my spine into my sacrum.”

Over the years he’s been prescribed opioids to manage the pain.

“I’ve dealt with it pretty well for the last 25 years because I had the medicine to do it,” said Brawley. “Nothing ever took it away, but it made it feasible for me to get out and do stuff. Now I’ve lost everything. I lay in bed or on the couch. I don’t get out of the house unless I have to.”

In 2016, the CDC revised prescription guidelines to try and avoid opioid abuse.

“The people making these laws have probably never been in pain a day in their life much less 24/7 like I deal with,” said Brawley.

“We do a really poor job as providers with managing chronic pain and with managing opioid use disorder,” said Dr. Kanika Cunningham.

Dr. Cunningham specializes in addiction and she said there were unintended consequences for those with chronic pain.

“It did cause a lot to either immediately cut people off the opioid in which people then turned to the black market and heroin,” said Dr. Cunningham. “People went into withdrawal symptoms. A lot took place.”

“People are committing suicide every day because they can’t take the pain no more,” said Brawley. “I think about it. I think about it every day.”

While there are compassionate care clauses both Brawley and Dr. Cunningham agree it’s time to eliminate the one-size-fits-all approach.

“We definitely need to make some changes in how we approach chronic pain,” said Dr. Cunningham.

“All we want to do is live a half normal life,” said Brawley.
