Thrust fracture

A push fracture (or impetus bone) is a special type of fracture that occurs when there is a strong blow from below. Most often, such a fracture occurs when a ship is blown up by a mine or when a heavy object falls on the leg.

A push-type fracture is characterized by damage to several bones of the lower extremities, as well as the spine. As a result of such an impact, the bones break, which can lead to serious consequences such as loss of mobility and even disability.

To treat a push fracture, it is necessary to perform surgery, which includes repositioning and fixation of the bones with special metal structures. In some cases, surgical removal of bone fragments may be necessary.

After the operation, the patient undergoes a rehabilitation course, which includes physiotherapy, massage, therapeutic exercises and other treatment methods. It is also important to follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding daily routine, nutrition and physical activity.

However, despite all efforts, complications such as bone deformation and limited mobility are possible with a push fracture. Therefore, it is very important to seek medical help promptly and follow your doctor’s recommendations.

In the history of fractures of mankind, push fractures occupy a special place. These injuries occur as a result of a strong blow to the body from below, such as a bomb explosion or a fall from a great height. In many cases, the impact can be caused by several people falling on top of each other or on an object, which can lead to multiple fractures of the lower extremities, including the lower leg, femur and pelvis. Impact injuries can also be associated with other parts of the body, such as the spine and skull.

Impact fractures occur quite frequently, especially among heavy industry workers. Some jobs require them to move forward rather than remain stagnant. Unsurprisingly, these occupations include construction, mine clearance, coal mining and other dangerous jobs. A person cannot predict an unexpected blow from an explosion, a falling object or a tree. Fractures can be dangerous for a person because they may require surgery within the first few days after the injury. In most cases, doctors prefer to remove metal objects from the patient's broken body parts to stop the infection.

Most of the research related to impact injuries has been conducted on animals. This may raise the question of whether the human skeleton is strong enough to withstand such impacts. Given that their data shows that the human skeleton can withstand significant impacts and has various protections in the form of padding and soft tissue, the use of animal testing to determine the strength of the human
