Elbow growth plate injuries are the most common elbow injury in children because the cartilage and bone in a growing child are weaker than the surrounding ligaments. There are several reasons why growth plate injuries in the elbow can occur. These reasons include: Strain from repetitive motion (throwing a baseball). -A fall on an elbow or outstretched hand. -Hyperextension of the elbow joint. #orthopaedics #drezekieloburu #bones #health #Elbowgrowthplateinjuries

Today, we celebrate World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day to raise awareness and understanding of these conditions and advocate for the rights of people who live with them.
Spina bifida and hydrocephalus are birth defects that affect the brain and spinal cord. Spina bifida occurs when the spinal cord does not form properly, while hydrocephalus is a buildup of fluid in the brain. Both conditions can cause a variety of physical and developmental challenges, but with proper care and support, people with spina bifida and hydrocephalus can live full and active lives.
