A thought that hit my mind whine i was in my first year. . .when the lecturer in physio lab told that 'BONE CONDUCTION IS BETTER THAN AIR CONDUCTION'. So it was bone conduction,and BONE=FRACTURE. . .
Now the idea is to detect fracture. . .HOW??it was just by using an TUNING FORK and a STETHESCOPE . .
PROCEDURE-keepin tuning fork at the distal end of injury and stethescope at proximal end ,interprete with the sound
INTERPRETATION-As bone is a good conductor of sound,hence in a normal bone sound waves are transmitted and heard on auscultation. . . .but if the bone is fractured and is cut,then tuning fork vibrations are not conducted,hence no sound heard on auscultation. . .
RESULT-As its just a thought and i have not yet tried i am still not sure. . .
but when i discussed this with a friend he just tried it on abdomen,and he could ausculcate sound,wheras abdome has no bone. .
THOUGH BONE CONDUCTION IS BETTER BUT ITS NOT THE ONLY CONDUCTOR OF SOUND IN HUMAN BODY. . .!!
