Fracture

Why Are Fractures Increasing?

Globally, the incidence of fractures has increased dramatically in recent years. It is due to the fast-paced lifestyle, increased injuries and lack of exercise that leads to weak bones (Osteoporosis) and a longer life expectancy. Nearly everybody knows someone who has suffered from a bone fracture. Although fractures are a very common problem, there is not much information on how to properly treat them.

While fractures can’t be completely avoided, there are ways you can reduce your risk. A way to minimize your fracture risk is to build stronger bones, and keep them healthy.

Types

Types of Common Fractures

Closed fractures tend to be more common than open ones (the skin above the injury is unharmed). Here are the most common types of fractures:

Collarbone Fracture

This fracture affects the clavicle, often caused by falls or sports injuries. It leads to pain and difficulty moving the shoulder.

Wrist Fracture

Common in children and older adults, this usually involves the distal radius. It results from falls on an outstretched hand.

Distal Radius Fracture

The most common fracture in children is the distal radius fracture. It usually occurs around the wrist in the radius, but it does not affect the joint.

Ankle Fracture

Occurs when one or more bones in the ankle joint break due to twisting or impact. It causes swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking.

Vertebral Fracture

Involves a break in one of the spinal bones, often due to osteoporosis or trauma. It can lead to back pain and reduced height.

Hip Fracture

A serious injury, especially in the elderly, often results from falls. It requires prompt treatment and often surgery.

Forearm Fracture

Usually affects the radius, ulna, or both, commonly seen in children. It occurs from direct impact or falling on an outstretched arm.

Shinbone Fracture

A break in the tibia is often due to high-impact injuries like car accidents or sports. It causes severe pain and inability to bear weight.

Treatment

Diagnosis and Treatment

A physical examination of the patient is required to determine if a fracture has occurred

Surgery

A CT scan, X-ray, or MRI might be recommended.

Bone fracture treatment can be broadly described as:

Conservative treatment – This includes immobilisation with plaster application or splints, pain management, or other non-surgical stabilisations.
Surgical intervention- Common Implants used to fix fractures are
1. Intramedullary nails
2. Metal plates, screws and wires
3. External fixators
4. Prosthesis

Physiotherapy

To regain muscle strength, physiotherapy is crucial. After surgery is performed, physio plays an important role in regaining function with a range of movement exercises and strengthening and proprioception exercises.

First Aid

First Aid for Fractures

If you are suffering from a fracture, it is important not to panic. Here are basic first-aid guidelines:

Keep the patient calm and composed. Avoid unnecessary movements caused by fear or anxiety. Don’t panic.
Do not give any food or drinks to the person, as it will make any emergency operations difficult.
If you see a cut in the skin, you can rinse it to remove dirt and other contamination. It is best to avoid vigorously rubbing or flushing the wound.
If there is bleeding from an injured limb, use a cotton or cloth bandage to close the wound. Do not try to locate the source of the bleeding.
A fracture can be immobilised using splints. You can use newspaper rolls, cardboard, or wood strips. It is crucial to immobilise both the injured and healthy bones.
Ice can be used to reduce swelling and pain. Ice should not be directly applied to the skin. Apply the ice using a cloth or a polybag.
Examine the patient closely to determine if there are any other injuries. Seek medical attention. If medical assistance is available immediately, take the patient to the hospital for further treatment.
