If you have 4 displaced fractures in your foot what do they normal do? Surgrey, cast, boot?

---

I have 4 displaced fractures, in my right foot that are connected to my toes. They put me in a boot, and said no weight on the foot afraid that the bones will poke through, what do they normally do? How long are you out of work?
that's really bad for you, and probably they do all of those solutions, you probably have surgery if the fractures are bad enough, then you will have a cast, and when you can bear weight, they can give you a boot to walk with while your foot heals. How did you do to break your foot??

What kind of exercise can I get with stress fractures?

---

I'm 15. I run a lot, 7 miles a day usually, and I'm really fast. But, I just found out that I have stress fractures again! How am I supposed to stay in shape? I'll just become a really fat person who will never be a good runner now. I do not want to gain weight. What can I do? And, what should I do about my diet? I mean, I generally eat very healthy foods, but should I limit what I eat a lot more now?
If you run on cement or asphalt, you are more likely to get stress fractures. Check to see that you have shoes which can act as shooks for your legs as you run.

You are not going to gain weight just because you quit running. There are plenty of exercises to give you the activity you need. However, that isn't running and it sounds like running is important to you.

If you are taking in the amount of calories in a balanced diet per day, then you shouldn't gain weight. Just change your style of exercise. Find another type that you enjoy. Maybe alternate the running with the other type of exercise you choose.  (+ info)

What are the consequences of removing the first two mandibular bicuspids?

---

I have an underbite and I'm trying to fix it non-surgically. My orthodontist recommends me that my bottom two first bicuspids to be removed. I have heard of people removing four of their bicuspids but not two. I have had braces for nearly two years now, my teeth are perfectly aligned but i still have an underbite. Would my appearance look normal? Will the teeth in front of the bicuspids be pulled back to compensate for the gap?

Can invisalign widen/broaden the maxillary and mandibular arches?

---

I hate my teeth (although many people tell me they look fine) BUT i would like to get them as straight as they can be, and being older now (18) and in university, i don't want the wire and bracket braces. BUT i was wondering if Invisalign will actually broaden my arches as well. Please help!
No.
Invisalign is for Class I malocclusions with mild/moderate spacing or crowding of 1-6mm.
It is NOT for:
1. Teeth with short crowns;
2. Class I malocclusions with greater than 1-6mm spacing or crowding;
3. Class 2 and Class 3 malocclusions.
4. Severely rotated teeth;
5. Open bites;
6. Severely tipped teeth;
7. Closing extraction spaces.
With your sort of problem, braces will be the solution. But hey, it's almost a fashion statement to have them! It shows you care about your appearance.

Can I practice judo or Brazilian Jiu-Jujitsu with a mandibular angle implant in my jaw?

---

I believe it is a silicone implant and it is screwed into my jaw with one titanium screw. Been two years since surgery.

There are no strikes in these martial arts. The main thing I am concerned with is grappling, especially in BJJ, where you get put in headlocks and shoulders can press against the jaw causing pain where my implant is.
If your jaw can handle it...so should the implant. Good luck and have fun  (+ info)

What is the rehabilitation process for hip fractures?

---

I am student doing a research project and need to find different treatments for an individual suffering from a hip fracture. How is electrical stimulation applied? What forms of therapeutic exercises are useful? Gait training? Any physical therapist out there...I would greatly appreciate your input. I'm eager to learn.
This will depend on many factors. Some are allowed weight bearing immediately, some require pinning and may be TDWB or NWB for several weeks. I never use e-stim for hip fractures. Gait training is permitted when the orthopedist give clearance.

...you would need to be more specific with your question...femoral neck fracture, femoral fracture, acetabular fracture as well as the degree of the fracture and the medical history of the patient.

I would direct some of these questions to an orthopedic surgeon.   (+ info)
