Bone Fractures

A fracture is a broken bone. It can range from a thin crack to a complete break. Bone can fracture crosswise, lengthwise, in several places, or into many pieces. Most fractures happen when a bone is impacted by more force or pressure than it can support.

Treatment Bone Fractures

Cause:

- Fall from a height

- Motor vehicle accidents

- Direct blow

- Repetitive forces,such as those caused by running,can cause stress fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia or hip

Symptoms:

- A visibly out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint

- Swelling, bruising, or bleeding

- Intense pain, Numbness and tingling

- Broken skin with bone protruding

- Limited mobility or inability to move a limb

First Aid:

- Keep the person still and calm

- Examine the person closely for other injuries

- If needed, immobilize the broken bone with a splint or sling. Possible splints include a rolled up newspaper or strips of wood. Immobilize the area both above and below the injured bone

- Apply ice packs to reduce pain and swelling

- Lay the person flat, elevate the feet about 12 inches above the head, and cover the person with a coat or blanket. However, do not move the person if a head, neck, or back injury is suspected.
