Fracture is a very common injury or a medical condition. A fracture is basically a broken bone, a bone may be totally fractured or may be partially, it can range from a thin crack or completely broken. The severity of the fracture mainly depends upon the force due to which you caused the break in your bones. In this blog, we will give you the total information about the fracture that will help you to catch the fracture and do the treatment.
Symptoms of Fracture
- Extreme pain in the injured area
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Deformity
Types of Fracture
Some common types of fractures are as follows:
- Stable fracture: In this type of fracture, the broken ends of the bone line up but barely come out of the place.
- Open or compound fracture: This type of fracture occurs when the skin of your body gets pierced by the bone or by the blow that breaks your skin at the time of fracture.
- Dislocation fracture: In this fracture, the joint becomes dislocated. This is a little serious type of fracture as it dislocates your joint.
- Impacted fracture: In an impacted fracture, one joint of the body goes into another.
- Pathological fracture: When your bone becomes weak due to an existing medical condition or disease, it is known as a pathological fracture.
- Spiral fracture: Spiral fracture twists at least one part of your body.
Treatment of Fracture
There are various treatment options available for the treatment of the fracture, which is as follows:
- Healing: If the broken bone is kept immobile then the healing process is very useful. In this treatment, bone cells absorb the damaged bone and other bone cells create new bone.
- Physical therapy: After the bone is healed, it is very much important to restore the muscle strength and mobility to your affected bone. Physical therapy is a very successful treatment option for fractures.
- Cast Immobilization: This is the most common treatment for fracture because many broken bones can easily heal once they have been repositioned and a cast has been applied.
- Surgery: Surgery is taken into consideration if there is damage to the skin and soft tissue around the affected bone or joint.
So these are some of the treatment options available for the fracture.
In conclusion, we would like to say that if even your bone gets damaged then it is not any reason to worry as it is a very common medical condition and there are a lot of treatments also available. You can also take some preventions like – taking proper nutrition, sunlight, vitamin d, leafy vegetables, milk, etc. But, remember one thing whenever your bones get damaged, you should visit the doctor so that the situation does not get worsen.
