what can epiphyseal plate fractures lead to?
-growth disturbances
-bone deformity
what is a stress sharing device?
-permits some transmission of load across fracture site
-casts, rods, pins, wires
what is a stress shielding device?
-protects the fracture completely from mechanical stress
-transfers stress to fixation device
-plate, external fixators
what is the tissue response due to immobilization from fracture?
-connective tissue weakens
-articular cartilage degenrates
-muscle atrophy occurs
-circulation slows
-scar
-contracture, adaptive shortening
what should you examine for post-immobilization from fracture?
-decresed ROM, joint plat, flexibility
-atrophy

-balance
what are interventions post fracture immobilization?
-streching (proximal to fracture site until radiological healing)
-muscle preformance (proximal to facture site)
-fuctional activities
-scar tissue mobilization
-correct movement impairments
when can streching be done post fracture immobilization?
-PROXIMAL to fracture site until radiological healing has occured
where can muscle preformance activites be preformed post fracture immobilization?
-begin proximal to fracture site
what are some complications of fracture?
-compartment syndrome
-infection
