One Minute on the Shiawassee. Lots of great summer fun can be spent in the many lakes and rivers of the tri-county area. One activity that should be on your summer agenda is kayaking. It is a great way to get outdoors and get some exercise while seeing the many different bodies of water that our area has to offer.
There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are complete, incomplete, compound and simple. Complete and incomplete fractures refer to the way the bone breaks. In a complete fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts; in an incomplete fracture, the bone cracks but does not break all the way through.
Closed Fracture. Most types of patella fractures are closed fractures, in which the patella does not break through the skin. Some types of closed fractures may be treated without surgery. Open Fracture. An open fracture occurs when the broken bone breaks through the skin, exposing the injured patella.
