Understanding Bone Injuries and
Their Management

Your Name / Institution (Optional)


Introduction to Bone Fractures
• - A bone fracture is a break or crack in a bone.
• - It occurs due to trauma, overuse, or diseases
like osteoporosis.
• - Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential
for recovery.
Types of Bone Fractures
• - **Closed (Simple) Fracture:** Bone breaks
but does not pierce the skin.
• - **Open (Compound) Fracture:** Bone
breaks and penetrates the skin.
• - **Greenstick Fracture:** Incomplete break,
common in children.
• - **Comminuted Fracture:** Bone shatters
into multiple pieces.
• - **Stress Fracture:** Small cracks due to
repetitive stress.
Causes and Risk Factors
• - Accidents, falls, and sports injuries.
• - Osteoporosis and weak bones.
• - Repetitive stress from activities like running.
• - Poor diet and vitamin deficiencies (e.g.,
calcium, vitamin D).
Symptoms and Diagnosis
• - Pain, swelling, and bruising around the
fracture site.
• - Deformity or inability to move the affected
limb.
• - Diagnosis through X-rays, CT scans, or MRI.
Treatment and Healing Process
• - **Immobilization:** Casting, splints, or
braces.
• - **Reduction:** Aligning the bone manually
or surgically.
• - **Surgery:** In severe cases, metal plates or
rods are used.
• - **Rehabilitation:** Physical therapy for
strength and mobility.
Prevention and Bone Health
• - Eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
• - Engage in weight-bearing exercises for strong
bones.
• - Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
consumption.
• - Use protective gear during sports and
activities.
Conclusion
• - Bone fractures are common but treatable
with proper care.
• - Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment
ensure better recovery.
• - Maintaining strong bones reduces the risk of
fractures in the future.
