Chipped Bone

Have you ever experienced this kind of situation?? Is it dangerous or it is just a little and normal injury?? I have no idea at all but now I am suffering from chipped bone and in fact it affects a lot of my daily activities. I am waiting for my appointment at the moment and hoping to hear from them soon.






These are some facts from my readings:

The Facts about a Chipped Bone

A chipped bone may sound better than a broken bone but actually the two are not too far apart. A chipped bone is actually a type of fracture where there is a chip--a piece of bone has broken off of the main bone. Chipped bones usually happen on all of the extremities, such as a chipped bone in the ankle, hand, elbow, finger, and places like these.

A chipped bone can have many different causes. These can include all types of trauma where a physical force hits a bone and is stronger than the bone. Because of the angle of the hit, you can experience a chipped bone instead of a fracture that breaks a bone into two separate pieces. Traumas which can cause a chipped bone are collisions, twists, blows and falls.

Kinds of osteochondritis include osteochondritis deformans juvenilis, osteochondritis dissecans, osteochondritis ischiopubica, osteochondritis juvenilis, and osteochondritis necroticans.
