Incomplete

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Incomplete is a term often used in the medical field to describe a condition or process that is not fully developed or finished. This can refer to a wide range of situations, from incomplete fractures, where the bone is not fully broken, to incomplete abortions, where the process of abortion is not fully completed.

Incomplete Fractures[edit | edit source]

An Incomplete fracture is a type of bone fracture where the bone is not fully broken. This can occur in any bone in the body and is often caused by trauma or stress to the bone. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Treatment typically involves rest, immobilization, and sometimes surgery.

Incomplete Abortions[edit | edit source]

An Incomplete abortion is a type of abortion where not all of the pregnancy tissue is expelled from the uterus. This can lead to complications such as infection and heavy bleeding. Treatment typically involves a procedure to remove the remaining tissue.

Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries[edit | edit source]

An Incomplete spinal cord injury is a type of spinal cord injury where the spinal cord is not fully severed. This can result in partial loss of function below the level of the injury. Treatment typically involves physical therapy and rehabilitation.

Incomplete Heart Block[edit | edit source]

An Incomplete heart block is a type of heart block where the electrical signals in the heart are partially blocked. This can result in irregular heart rhythms and can be potentially life-threatening. Treatment typically involves medication or a pacemaker.
