FracturesFractures
Fractures (broken bones) occur because Fractures (broken bones) occur because of extreme stress placed on the boneof extreme stress placed on the bone
Parts of the boneParts of the bone Diaphysis- shaft (hollow)Diaphysis- shaft (hollow) Epiphysis- ends (place of growth)Epiphysis- ends (place of growth) Articular cartilage- covers joint surface Articular cartilage- covers joint surface

DislocationsDislocations
First dislocations First dislocations should be treated like should be treated like fracturesfractures
Should not be Should not be immediately reducedimmediately reduced
X-rays should be taken X-rays should be taken to rule out a fracture to rule out a fracture prior to reducing the prior to reducing the dislocationdislocation
SubluxationSubluxation
Similar to a dislocation except the bone Similar to a dislocation except the bone partially comes out of the joint and slides partially comes out of the joint and slides back into place on its own with out any back into place on its own with out any external force appliedexternal force applied
