What does FSC mean in PHYSIOLOGY

A simple comminuted fracture is a type of fracture that involves multiple breaks in the bone and fragments that are widely dispersed. It usually results from high-energy impacts, such as falls from great heights or repetitive motions like running.

Simple comminuted fractures are usually caused by high-energy impacts such as car accidents or falls from heights greater than 6 feet. Repetitive activities such as running can also cause this type of fracture.

The most common way to diagnose this type of fracture is through X-ray imaging which reveals multiple fractures in the bone with widely dispersed fragments. Your doctor may also order an MRI or CT scan if needed to get a better picture of bone damage.

Treatment for a simple comminuted fracture typically includes immobilizing the affected area with either a cast or splint followed by physical therapy to help restore strength and mobility. Surgery may be required if there are large gaps between fragmented bones or displacement of one fragment relative to another fragment.

The risk factors for developing this type of fracture include age (older people are more likely to experience this injury), obesity (as it places additional stress on bones), gender (men are more likely to experience this injury) and certain medical conditions like osteoporosis (which weakens bones).
