what are the effects of bone fractures to muscles?\nhow are they affeected?\nwhat ways are discovered to help in the development of muscles after an operation for treatment of bone fracture?

Bone fractures can affect muscles in two ways. First, during fracture (or spasm after fracture) the sharp ends of a fractured bone may pierce surrounding muscles and damage them directly (they heal though). Second, when the fracture is healing and the bone is immobilized, surrounding muscles atrophy and need to be exercised to gain their previous strength and volume after the bone heals.

Fractures take 6-8 weeks to heal.  I am presuming that no surgery was necessary to fix the bones/that you have no pins in place.  Given that you will need to stay off the foot until the bones are healed.  It will not be pain free once the cast (you may not even be in a cast yet, but you will be) comes off, but use your head about activity.\n\nThe tarsals can be a tricky group of bones to get complete healing.  Your doctor may be waiting for the swelling to decrease and for things to settle down before making any prognosis.  Ask him or her at your next appointment.  With this group of bones, it is entirely possible you that you will need physical therapy.  Ask you doctor about a "Les Franc" injury.  This is a special case that has a particularly bleak prognosis as far as your foot ever being normal again. \n\nIs there anything to do right now?  Not really.  If you smoke, stop.  Eat a healthy diet.  Keep things elevated and iced.  \n\nIs there some sort of desk duty or something you can do at your work, because if you need full use of your foot to do your work, its going to be a few months.

I would say, eat healthy, lift and make sure you get enough protein.  Also, make sure you don't progress too quickly.  You are fairly young and your bones are still growing.  If you push it too hard, too fast, your risk damaging the growth plates in your bones.  \n\nIf you belong to a gym see if they can help you, if not see if your school has some sort of program that you can participate in.  Good luck!  \n\nI don't know what the age limit is, but www.sparkpeople.com may be able to give you some extra advice.  Also, talk to your doctor.  They may give you advice on doing this without injury.

i had a tumor removed from the inside of the wrist bone and it sounds similar to what your having done. They hollowed out the bone and used freeze dried bone chips to fill it in. The good news is the bone grew back together just like new and 12 or so years later I don't even notice it. At first it will be weak and tender but I found a few things that helped. My hands and wrist were stiff because my wrist and hand were casted for 6 weeks so I washed dishes by hand to work the muscles back up. And the scar has healed quite nicely. I don't get any phantom pains when it rains or anything like that. I think you will be just fine. I just hope you don't go stir crazy waiting for your hip to heal. Good Luck but I think you will be fine.

Sorry, but the only way to tell if a bone is broken is with an x-ray unless it is visibly deformed. Please try to go to the doctor. In the mean time, keep it elevated and put ice compresses to reduce the swelling. Good luck.

you tore your muscles and now the are repairing themselves which is a painful process.  rip and repair thats how you make muscles stronger.

The bone takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal.  The best way to stop the pain is to stop moving your leg (sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear).  Is your leg in a cast?  Make sure you elevate your leg above your heart (1-2 pillows is fine) to decrease swelling.  The more you try to move around now, the more swelling you're going to have and the more pain you're going to have.  Take it easy with anti-inflammatories (i.e. Advil, Aleve, etc) because they can slow down the healing process, which would be counterproductive.

Bones are made of a mix of hard stuff that gives them strength and tons of living cells which help them grow and repair themselves. Like other cells in your body, the bone cells rely on blood to keep them alive. Blood brings them food and oxygen and takes away waste. \nIf bones weren't made of living cells, things like broken toes or arms would never mend. But don't worry, they do. That's because your bone cells are busy growing and multiplying to repair the break! How? When you break your toe, blood clots form to close up the space between the broken segments. Then your body mobilizes bone cells to deposit more of the hard stuff to bridge the break. \nSkin is alive. It's made of many thin sheets of layers of flat, stacked cells in which you'll find nerves, blood vessels, hair follicles, glands, and sensory receptors. \nOlder cells are constantly being pushed to the surface by new cells which grow from below. When the old ones reach the top, they become wider and flatter as they get rubbed and worn by all your activity. And, sooner or later, they end up popping off like tiles blown from a roof in a strong wind. In fact, every minute 30,000-40,000 dead skin cells fall from your body! In approximately a month's time, your body has made a whole new layer of skin cells!\nAs an adult, you may have more than 20 square feet of skin -- about the size of a blanket. \nYou are likely to shed some 40 pounds of skin in a lifetime. \nRight now there are over a million dust mites, microscopic critters invisible to the naked eye, on your mattress and pillow, chomping on the dead skin cells that fell off you last night!

Not sure but is it possible that there could be medical complications arising at some point later in time due to excessive marching or anything?  Sounds really ignorant on my part but can your bones break easily or anything?  Medical is the only thing I can think of....Military anywhere is not big on spending money for something that was done/happened prior to enlistment if something were to happen medically.

Have you seen a doctor or had x-rays yet?\nAs opposed to just staying home hurting and doing nothing...\n\nI had back surgery 3 years ago and did not get well even after they straightened my spine and moved the crushed nerve...\nThe problem was the damage was already done, so no amount of surgery would fix it...\nI am now disabled for life and I still don't know what caused it...\nPeople ask me if I was in a car accident or took a bad fall and I say no...\nMy doctor says it was because of calcium deposits on my bones and the bone spur growth caught and crushed the nerve...\nSo I would recommend seeing several doctors and getting several x-rays before surgery...\nAlso see a Pain Management Doctor, he will prescribe the right meds for your pain and you could avoid surgery...

Butterfly Fracture\nThis type of fracture has slight comminution at the fracture site which looks largely like a butterfly. The fracture site has butterfly fragments.\n\nClosed Fracture\nWhen there is a closed fracture there is no broken skin. The bones which broke do not penetrate the skin (but may be seen under the skin) and there is no contusion from external trauma.\n\nComminuted Bone Fracture\nA comminuted fracture has more than two fragments of bone which have broken off. It is a highly unstable type of bone fracture with many bone fragments.\n\nComplete Bone Fracture\n\nThis is where the bone has been completely fractured through it's own width. This is opposite from a hairline fracture or incomplete bone fracture where there is only a "crack" and not a complete break.\n\nComplex Fracture\nThis type of fractured bone severely damages the soft tissue which surrounds the bone.\n\n \n\nCompound Bone Fracture\nWhen this occurs, the bone breaks and fragments of the bone will penetrate through the internal soft tissue of the body and break through the skin from the inside. There is a high rise of infection if external pathogenic factors enter into the interior of the body.\n\nCompression Fracture\nThis type of bone fracture generally occurs after a fall where the vertebral column is compressed and then under the extreme pressure cracks or breaks. This type of bone fracture may also be referred to as a Impact Fracture.\n\nDouble Fracture\n\nWith this type of broken bone there is multiple fractures on the same bone or two bones which are fractured at the same time (ie - tibula and fibula). This type of trauma generally requires internal fixation of the fractured bones. It is also known as a Segmental Fracture.\n\nFissure Fracture\nThis bone fracture has minimal trauma to the bone and surrounding soft tissues. It is a incomplete fracture with no significant bone displacement and is considered a stable fracture. In this type the fracture the crack only extends into the outer layer of the bone but not completely through the entire bone. It is also known as a Hairline Fracture.\n\nFracture-Dislocation\nThis type of fracture is complicated with a dislocation of the joint proximal to the fracture site.\n\nFragmented Fracture\nDuring this fracture the trauma will result in many broken bones leaving many pieces of bone within the patient.\n\nGreenstick Fracture\nThe pathology of this type of fracture includes a incomplete fracture in which only one side of the bone has been broken. The bone usually is "bent" and only broken of the outside of the bend. It is mostly seen in children and is considered a stable fracture due to the fact that the whole bone has not been broken. As long as the bone is kept rigid healing is usually quick.\n\nHairline Fracture\nThis bone fracture has minimal trauma to the bone and surrounding soft tissues. It is a incomplete fracture with no significant bone displacement and is considered a stable fracture. . In this type the fracture the crack only extends into the outer layer of the bone but not completely through the entire bone. It is also known as a Fissure Fracture.\n\n \n\nIncomplete Fracture\nThis occurs when the bone breaks but the ends do not completely separate leaving the bone with a "crack" which does not extend the complete width of the bone. This is opposite from a complete bone fracture where the broken bone ends are completely severed from each other.\n\nImpact Fracture\nThis type of bone fracture generally occurs after a fall where the vertebral column is compressed and then under the extreme pressure cracks or breaks. This type of bone fracture may also be referred to as a Compression Fracture.\n\nImpacted Fracture\nType of fracture where the ends of the broken bones are wedged together.\n\nMultiple Fractures\nIn this type of fractured bone there are several fracture lines on one bone. It can also mean several fractures in one patient but on separate bones bu

casting usually takes a long time because you are trying to heal and regrow the broken bone. The cast is there to immobilze the affected part. when you immobilize it in a short time, the bones might not grow properly and you end up with a bent or even still an unhealed fracture. On the other hand, casting for longer than normal is also bad. In your case, I think that the period of casting is just right. it sounds like you have multiple and complete fracture. if you are really worried, ask your doctor and he will explain why you need the cast for a long time. Also, it also depends on your age. Younger people has faster bone growth thus giving a shorter cast time. Good luck

I guess you have to live with it, I had to walk with a limp for 2 months after a soccer injury, because when I went to see a bone specialist they said there isnt much they could do (because it was just a crack and it was in the end of the femur bone of my thigh)

not sure about books or websites, but I recommend using industrial-type rubber bands from Home Depot or Lowes and Lycra to represent the muscles. Heck,, the HD/Lowes folks could probably give  you good ideas for the bones as well (I would head to the "dowel" section....)

How tall are you and what are you at now?  In my senior year of high school I used to obsess about what I ate and I joined the cross country team.  I dropped 30 pounds pretty easily.  \n\nAs I started to learn more about health, I have kept doing cardio and weight lifting to maintain a healthy body weight.  Plus I took a nutrition class in college and learned some good things.  Now I let myself indulge sometimes, but understand I should put more good then bad into my body, and eat the right amount.  \n\nI recommend eating calcium rich foods since you probably had bone loss with your disorder.  Plus doing impact exercises like running and jumping will help your bones to become stronger and denser.  Good luck!

It won't make you short but I've heard more than once that heavy weight training may have adverse affects on the  bone development of young people. Maybe you should consult a doctor.
