A bone fracture is a break in a bone.

Fractures are common.

Most people fracture at least one bone during their lifetime.

The severity of fractures increase with age.

Bone Fractures

A condition in which there is a break in the continuity

of the bone

Types of Bone

fracturesClosed 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.

•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.•Open fracture: An open fracture is a fracture where the broken bone is exposed. That is dangerous because of increased chances of infection.

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.

Injuries to organs – such as the brain (in

the case of skull fractures) or chest

organs (if a rib breaks).

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.

Effect of bone fractures

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

A bone fracture depend on the particular bone and the

severity of the injury

Causes of Bone fractures

Fractures occur when a bone

can't withstand the physical

force exerted on it.

Symptom Of Bone Fractures

Vitamin D 

- necessary for proper use of calcium in the

bones. - causes softening and

weakening of the bones .

 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.

 Osteoporosis-loss of bone density that causes

bones to become brittle and weak.

- It is twice as common in women than in men

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 togetherPain relief.

ConclusionBone Fracture is a common fracture. We have to avoid from anything that have

hazard. Regarding employer or employee have to apply a safety protection at a work

place.
