    What is a Fracture?
    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. Children's bones are more flexible and less likely to break. Falls or other accidents that do not harm children can cause complete fractures in older adults. Older adults suffer from fractures more than children because their bones are more likely to be brittle.
    Symptoms of a fracture?
    The most common symptoms of a fracture are:
    • Swelling around the injured area
    • Loss of function in the injured area
    • Bruising around the injured area
    • Deformity of a limb
    What causes a fracture?
    Fractures occur when a bone can't withstand the physical force exerted on it.
    Types of Fractures?
    There are many types of fractures: simple, stress, comminuted, impacted, compound, complete and incomplete.
    1. Simple: Bone breaks into two pieces.
    2. Stress: Hairline break that is often invisible on the x-ray for the first six weeks after the onset of pain.
    3. Penile fracture.
    4. Comminuted: Bone fragments into several pieces
    5. Impacted: One fragment of bone is embedded into another fragment of bone.
    6. Compound: Bone protrudes through the skin. Also called an open fracture.
    7. Complete: Bone snaps completely into two or more pieces.
    8. Incomplete: Bone cracks but doesn't separate.

    To heal properly, the fractured bone must be realigned. The most common realignment procedures are:
    • Immobilization using a cast or splint
    • Setting of bone through surgery. When surgery is needed, the procedure is called an open reduction. The doctor will give you local or general anesthesia. (General anesthesia will put you to sleep.) During the surgical procedure, the doctor may insert a rod, pin, plate, or screw into the injury to hold the bone in place. Advantages of surgery include: early mobility of injured bone and some use of the injured bone within weeks rather than months.
    After the bone is realigned, medication and rehabilitation will help the recovery process. Medication is used to lessen the pain. Rehabilitation prevents stiffness. Rehabilitation involves light movement of the tissues surrounding the injury. It helps increase blood flow which will aid the healing process.

    How serious is a fracture?
    The seriousness depends on the age of the individual and location of the fracture. Some fractures only require temporary protection (crutches, splint). Other, more serious fractures require surgery.
