A bone fracture occurs when there is a break or crack in the bone, often caused by trauma, accidents, or sports injuries. Depending on the severity, fractures can range from simple, where the bone remains aligned, to complex, where multiple fragments may be involved. Prompt and effective treatment is crucial to ensure proper healing and to prevent complications.

Whether it's a simple fracture or a complex injury, the hospital’s team of experienced orthopedic specialists is dedicated to providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Types of Bone fractures

  • Simple (Closed) Fracture

    – The bone is broken, but the skin remains intact. This type of fracture is less severe as there is no open wound, reducing the risk of infection.

  • Compound (Open) Fracture:

    - In this fracture, the broken bone pierces through the skin, creating an open wound. This type of fracture is more serious due to the increased risk of infection and complications.

  • Transverse Fracture

    - The fracture line is horizontal across the bone, often resulting from a direct impact of stress on the bone.

  • Oblique Fracture

    - The fracture occurs at an angle to the bone, typically caused by a sharp, angled force.

  • Comminuted Fracture

    - The bone is shattered into three or more pieces, often caused by high-impact trauma. This type of fracture can be challenging to treat and may require surgery.

  • Greenstick Fracture

    - Common in children, this type of fracture occurs when the bone bends and cracks without completely breaking.

  • Spiral Fracture

    -A spiral-shaped fracture that occurs when a twisting force is applied to the bone, often seen in sports injuries.

  • Stress Fracture

    -A small, hairline crack in the bone caused by repetitive stress or overuse, commonly seen in athletes.

  • Pathological Fracture

    -This occurs when a bone is weakened by a disease, such as osteoporosis or cancer, and fractures with minimal trauma.

  • Compression Fracture

    -Often seen in the spine, this occurs when a bone collapses due to a compressive force, commonly associated with conditions like osteoporosis.

Symptoms

People who have a fracture, are likely to have the following symptoms:

Pain
Bruising
Swelling
Discolored skin around the affected area
Bleeding if it is an open fracture
Inability to move the affected area
Inability to put weight on the injured area

Causes of Bone Fractures

Bone fractures, or broken bones, can occur due to a variety of causes, ranging from traumatic injuries to underlying health conditions. Understanding the different factors that contribute to bone fractures can help in preventing them and seeking appropriate treatment. Here are some common causes of bone fractures:

  • Trauma and Accidents: Falls, motor vehicle accidents, and sports injuries are frequent causes of fractures. High-impact events or sudden trauma can break bones.
  • Osteoporosis: Weakened bones due to osteoporosis can easily fracture from minor falls or stresses, especially in older adults and postmenopausal women.
  • Repetitive Stress: Stress fractures result from repeated overuse, commonly seen in athletes involved in running or jumping sports.
  • Medical Conditions: Diseases such as bone cancer, Paget’s disease, and bone infections can weaken bones and increase fracture risk.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D can weaken bones, making them more prone to fractures.
  • Genetic Factors: Genetic conditions and family history of bone disorders can heighten fracture risk.
  • Age: As people age, bones naturally become more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures from falls or minor impacts.

Diagnosis

The circumstances that lead to a person's fracture will be investigated by a doctor. They'll then conduct a physical examination in order to make a diagnosis.

To completely assess the fracture, they will frequently request an X-ray and, in some situations, an MRI or CT scan.

Dos and Don’ts

Do's
  • Seek medical assistance as soon as possible
  • Visit an orthopaedic doctor
  • Take the pain killers prescribed by the doctor
  • Elevate the injured part
  • Make sure the cast on fingers and toes isn't too tight.
Don’ts
  • Don't attempt to diagnose or treat a broken bone on your own
  • Don't touch the injured area
  • Don't sticking a pen or other things inside the cast to scratch
  • Don't wet the cast
  • Don't attempt to remove your cast on your own.
