TOPICS COVERED

Definition

Mechanism of fractures

Fracture types

Complete

Incomplete

Types of displacements

Fracture healing

Stages

Treatment of fractures

Closed fractures

Open fractures

Page 3: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

DEFINITION

An interruption in the continuity of

the bone which may be a

complete break or an incomplete

break.

Page 4: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

MECHANISMS

Single traumatic event

Repitive stress – Stress fractures

Pathological – Insufficiency fractures

Page 5: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

HIGH-ENERGY

INJURY

Page 6: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

High-energy injury

Page 7: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

LOW ENERGY INJURY

Page 8: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

Low-energy injury

Page 9: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

PATHOLOGIC FRACTURES

Often need surgery

diagnostic workup

important

prognosis dependent

on biology of lesion

Page 10: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia

Page 11: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

MECHANISMS OF FRACTURES

Direct – Bending / Crushing

Indirect

Page 12: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

MECHANISMS OF FRACTURES - INDIRECT

Twisting causes a spiral fracture;

Compression causes a short oblique fracture;

Bending results in fracture with a triangular

'butter-fly‘ fragment;

Tension tends to break the bone transversely

CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURES

Complete/ Incomplete

Fracture pattern

Soft-tissue cover

Displacement

Comminution

Page 17: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

COMPLETE/ INCOMPLETE

Page 18: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

GREENSTICK FRACTURES

Bending mechanism

Failure on tension side

Incomplete fracture,

plastic deformation on

compression side

May need to complete

fracture to realign

Page 19: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

BUCKLE OR TORUS FRACTURE

Compression failure

Stable

Usually at

metaphyseal /

diaphyseal junction

Page 20: Principles of fracture management Saseendar
Page 21: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURES

Closed fractures

There is no communication between the external

surface of the body and the fracture

Page 22: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

Open fractures

There is a communication between the fracture and the

skin.

From inside-out

From outside-in

High risk of infection/

neurovascular injury

Page 23: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

OPEN FRACTURES

Page 24: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

OPEN FRACTURES

Page 25: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

DISPLACEMENT

Angulation

Translation

Rotation

Page 26: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

DISPLACEMENT

UNDISPLACED DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE

Page 27: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

MINIMALLY DISPLACED DISTAL RADIUS FRACTURE

Page 28: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

DISPLACED FEMUR FRACTURE

Page 29: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

HEALING OF FEATURES

Stage of haematoma

Stage of cellular proliferation

Stage of callus formation

Stage of consolidation

State of remodelling

OPEN FRACTURES

PRINCIPLES

IV antibiotics,

tetanus prophylaxis

emergent irrigation &

debridement

skeletal stabilization

soft tissue coverage

Page 60: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

LAWNMOWER INJURIESprobably most common

cause of open fractures in children

most children are a rider or bystander (70%)

high complication rate -infection, growth arrest,amputation

> 50% unsatisfactory results (Loder)

Page 61: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

LAWNMOWER INJURIES – OFTEN

RESULT IN AMPUTATIONS

Page 62: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

PHYSIOTHERAPY DURING

IMMOBILIZATION

Reduce oedema – to prevent the adhesion formation

Assist the maintenance of the circulation – active exercise either by static or isotonic muscle activity

Maintain muscle function by active or static contraction

Maintain joint range where possible

Maintain as much function as allowed by the particular injury and the fixation

Teach the patient how to use special appliances such as crutches, sticks, frames, and how to care for these or any other apparatus

Page 63: Principles of fracture management Saseendar

PHYSIOTHERAPY AFTER THE

REMOVAL OF FIXATION

To reduce any swelling

To regain full range of joint movement

To regain full muscle power

To re-educate full function
