Olecranon fractures

Olecranon has little or no muscle or other soft tissue protection, making it vulnerable to damage from falls and impacts. The olecranon is the most prominent of the bones forming the elbow joint, specifically the ulna. It attaches to the triceps and, along with the humerus, constitutes the elbow joint, which is responsible for bending and extending the arm. Olecranon fractures vary in complexity. They can be simple, with no displacement of bone fragments, or complex, with damage to the articular surface of the ulna and displacement of fragments by triceps traction. Such fractures cause a loss of extension in the elbow joint, resulting from the disruption of the triceps' connection with the forearm.

Hyperkeratosis or thickening of the skin

Follicular hyperkeratosis is a skin condition in which hair follicles become clogged with keratin (a protein normally found in skin, hair, and nails), resulting in small, rough bumps. The bumps can be seen on the arms, legs, thighs, buttocks, and even the face. Hyperkeratosis can develop due to impaired exfoliation (natural exfoliation) of the skin or can be inherited from a parent. This defect may cause concern, but it is not dangerous at all and may only be visually bothersome. Now we will tell you about the treatment of hyperkeratosis and its causes.
