In this term you will be part of the fracture clinic and will diagnose fractures and identify which bones of the skeleton are affected.Â
Research how we may treat different types of fractures that you have learned about in class. Remember to define any new key words that you may learn.
You could present your work as a poster or powerpoint with images of the fractures and how they are treated.
To help us diagnose patients we can use medical imaging. Medical imaging is the use of special technology, such as X-rays, ultrasound, and MRI scans, to look inside the human body without surgery. It helps doctors see bones, organs, and tissues so they can diagnose illnesses or injuries more safely and quickly. Medical imaging is an important part of modern medicine because it gives clear pictures that guide treatment and help patients recover.
