Bone Fractures

A bone fracture is
a break in a bone.
Fractures are
common.

A condition in which there
is a break in the continuity
of the bone

Most people fracture at least one
bone during their lifetime.
The severity of fractures increase
with age.
•Closed fracture: Also known as simple fracture, a closed fracture is a fracture where the bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
•Open fracture: An open fracture is a fracture where the broken bone is exposed. That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection. It is also called compound fracture.

Closed fracture:
Also known as simple
fracture, a closed fracture is
a fracture where the bone is
broken, but the skin is
intact.

Open fracture:
Is a fracture where the
broken bone is
exposed.

Complete fracture:
The two pieces of the bone,
resulting from the fracture,
completely separate from
each other.
Factors Influences
Degree and direction of the force, the particular bone
involved, and the person’s age and general health.

Things to remember

-A fracture occurs when force exerted against a bone
is stronger than the bone can structurally withstand.
The most common sites for bone fractures include the
wrist, ankle and hip.
Complications of bone
fractures
Blood loss
– bones have a rich blood

supply and a bad break can
result in substantial blood
loss.

Growth problems
– the fractured long bone of a young child
may not grow to its intended adult length
if the injury is close to a joint, since bone
fuses when it heals.

Injuries to organs
– such as the brain (in
the case of skull
fractures) or chest
organs (if a rib breaks).
Effect of bone fractures

Causes of Bone
fractures

A bone fracture depend on the
particular bone and the
severity of the injury

>Pain

>Swelling
>Bruising
>Deformity
>Inability to use
the limb.

Fractures occur
when a bone
can't withstand
the physical
force exerted on
it.
Vitamin D
-necessary for proper
use of calcium in the
bones.
-causes softening and
weakening of the
bones .

Osteoporosis
-loss of bone density that causes
bones to become brittle and
weak.
- It is twice as common in women
than in men

Symptom Of Bone
Fractures

Bone fractures
-can be the result of certain
types of cancer and some cancer
treatments.
-Cancer in other parts of the
body can spread to the bones in
a condition called bone
metastases.
Treatment

>Splints – to discourage movement of the
broken limb
>Braces – to support the bone
>Plaster cast – to provide support and
immobilise the bone
>Traction – this option is less common

>Surgically inserted metal rods or
plates – to hold the bone pieces together
Pain relief.
