what will happened to a fractured knee without any treatment?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A fracture of the knee can mean so many things. What is fractured, is it displaced, is it a weight bearing region, is it comminuted, is it intraarticular. These are important questions that can be answered by a orthopedic surgeon. These are great questions to ask also.

Question 6

i would ask how is the treatment of at11 fracture?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most vertebral fractures can be treated conservatively, using a brace for 6 - 12 weeks to stabilize the spine.  Compression type fractures can be treated surgically with cement stabilization (i.e. kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty) if the pain is intractable.  Burst type fractures may need surgical decompression/stabilization if there is neurologic compromise or gross instability.

what is the treatment for a radial fracture?

Accepted Answer

Radius fracture: Depends on the location of the fracture on the radius. Distal radius, radial shaft and radial head fractures are all treated differently. It also depends on how displaced the fracture is. Best thing to do is to be evaluated by your local Orthopaedic surgeon to receive proper treatment.

Question 10

dislocated knee with fractured kneecap treatment?

Accepted Answer

This depends on ...: What kind of dislocation? I would guess your knee cap slid out of position and when it came back a piece of the knee cap fractured. In this case the knee cap fracture dictates the treatment course. If the fracture is out of position you may need surgery. If it is not, bracing followed by pt can be helpful. Ultimately if knee cap is unstable you may need surgery to repair ligaments.
