I just learned a cool new word: comminution. "the action of reducing a material, an ore, to minute particles or fragments."

How is comminution not recognized 😡

fun fact: 3% of the global energy usage is spent on grinding big rocks down into progressively smaller rocks
whenever you see gravel or sand or concrete or roads or basically anything, it's all different finenesses of rock comminution

if the entire planetary internet is using about 1 percent of global energy consumption we could all use the internet a bunch more

it didn't like COMMINUTION one time because it's too technical, but somehow CONTINUUM isn't?

Mostly other impacts, big and small. Physically breaking down is called comminution. Weirdly, microimpacts also make small amounts of melt that glue tiny particles together called agglutination. www.lpi.usra.edu/publications...

i havent managed to write up proper case notes yet, but here are the images of that ankle i posted last week
note the comminution of the anterior colliculus - this was unexpectedly a major PITA
MPM but first plate was post colliculus

I look at these plus metaphyseal comminution specifically. Sometimes you can have lots of pieces and they line up ok but if the metaphysis is crumbled gingerbread it won't stay no matter how good the initial reduction.
Also, a well-molded splint after reduction prevents lots of surgeries.

Found this article suggesting comminution (grinding, mostly) is ~3% of global energy consumption. the only thing I found in a quick search for comminution as percentage of US energy was 2% from 1981.
So anyway, if data centers are 4%, it might be higher than total mining electricity usage.

Walking with a stick I hope means “slightly fractured” is closer to a crack than a comminution so hopefully healing, and pain reduction, will occur without intervention. 🤞

I find the radial butress help correct the radial translation and shortening. Also helps contain some of the comminution to fine tune the volar reduction.

I still haven't forgotten how it said "comminution" is too technical a term to be a real word (oh, but "continuum" is fine?)

Since we're sharing bad Google search results ... today, my husband's search said a product was approved by the FDA when it is not. He talked to the company to be sure.
It looks like an old-school snippet though. I can't tell if it's using AI.

Mintek keen to do bottleneck-exposing surveys for platinum group metals processors
South Africa’s national minerals research organisation Mintek has highlighted the value of conducting bottleneck-exposing comminution circuit surveys at platinum group metals (PGM) processing operations and made it clear that it is at-the-ready to answer all questions relating to peak performance and plant optimisation. The aim of Mintek’s comminution circuit surveys is to arrive at advantageous process performance by unlocking hidden opportunities of process improvement in PGM processing plants. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.)
