OverviewWhen a force applied to a bone is more than the bone can withstand, a shattered bone or bone fracture results. This affects the bone's strength and structure, causing pain, loss of function, and occasionally bleeding and damage nearby. We have bones in our skeleton. The connective tissue that makes up bones is fortified with calcium and bone cells. Blood cells are created in the softer center of bones, known as the bone marrow. Our skeleton's primary jobs include safeguarding our internal organs, facilitating mobility, and maintaining our body weight. Bone fractures can come in a variety of forms. Depending on the force and its direction, the specific bone affected, the person's age and general health, and other factors, some injuries are more serious than others. These are typical bone fractures: Fractures of the wrist, ankle, hip, and hip most frequently affect older adults. Depending on the person's age, health, and the type of break, broken bones usually mend between 4 to 8 weeks. Fractures are distinct from other skeleton-related injuries like dislocations, despite the fact that sometimes it can be difficult to tell the two apart. A person may occasionally suffer from multiple types of wounds. When in doubt, treat the wound as a fracture. Depending on the specific bone and the seriousness of the injury, a fracture may cause the following symptoms: Pain, edema, bruising, deformity, and restricted use of the limb. It's crucial to provide proper fracture first aid. Moving shattered bones may worsen pain and bleeding, as well as harm nearby tissues. Later problems with the injury's repair and healing may result from this.
