    Bone Fracture

    Bone fractures occur when a force exerted on a bone exceeds the bone's ability to withstand the force. There are different types of fractures depending on factors like the force involved and location of the break. Common fractures include those of the wrist, ankle, and hip. A bone fracture report discusses the causes of fractures, types (open vs closed), symptoms, diagnosis using tools like x-rays, and treatment including first aid, setting and immobilizing the bone, and restoring function. Management of fractures aims to address pain and other symptoms while promoting healing.

    BONE FRACTURE

    A SIWES REPORT PRESENTED

    MAT NO: 2018/115798/REGULAR

    JUNE 2023
    INTRODUCTION
    A broken bone or bone fracture occurs when a force exerted against a
    bone is stronger than the bone can bear. This disturbs the structure
    and strength of the bone, and leads to pain, loss of function and
    sometimes bleeding and injury around the site.
    There are different types of bone fractures. Some are more severe
    than others, depending on the strength and direction of the force, the
    particular bone involved, and the person's age and general health.
    Common bone fractures include: wrist, ankle, hip - hip fractures
    occur most often in older people.
    Aims and Objectives:
    • To identify the various causes of fracture
    • To highlight the different types of bone fracture
    • To highlight the treatment and management of bone fractures.
    Concept of the Study
    Definition: A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone.
    (Suddarth's & Burnner ). When a fracture happens, it's classified as
    either open or closed
    • Open fracture (also called compound fracture): The bone pokes
    through the skin and can be seen, or a deep wound exposes the
    bone through the skin.
    • Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken,
    but the skin is intact.
    Causes of Bone Fracture
    • Falls
    • Trauma
    • Overuse or repetitive motions
    • Diseases such as osteoporosis or cancer in the bones.
    Symptoms of a Fracture
    • Sudden pain
    • Swelling
    • Bruising
    • Deformity
    • Difficulty moving or using the injured area
    Diagnosis
    • X-ray
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
    • CT- scan
    Treatment of Bone Fracture
    1. First aid treatment
    2. Reduction: Reduction of a fracture ("setting" the bone) refers to
    restoration of the fracture fragments to anatomic alignment and
    rotation. It can be open or closed.
    3. Immobilization: Immobilization may be accomplished by
    external or internal fixation. Methods of external fixation
    include bandages, casts, splints, continuous traction, and
    external fixators.
    4. Maintaining and restoring function
    Conclusion
    In conclusion, fractures are breaks or cracks in bones that can occur
    due to accidents, sports injuries, falls, or underlying medical
    conditions. They manifest with symptoms such as pain, swelling,
    bruising, deformity, and difficulty in movement. Management of
    fractures involves addressing these symptoms providing pain
    management, immobilization, and monitoring, skin care, assistance
    with daily activities, education, rehabilitation, medication
    management, and discharge planning.
