A bone fracture is a break or crack in a bone. There are several types of bone fractures. They include the following:
-Complete Fracture: the fracture completely separates the bone in two.
-Incomplete Fracture: the fracture does NOT break the bone all the way through.
-Greenstick: one side of the bone is bent while the other is broken…incomplete type of fracture (most common in pediatric patients)
-Comminuted: the bone is broken into many fragments (3 or more).
-Transverse: the fracture is straight across the bone shaft.
-Oblique: the fracture is slanted across the bone shaft.
-Spiral: the fracture twists around the bone shaft (from a twisting injury).
Signs and symptoms of a bone fracture include: brusing with pain and swelling, reduced movement, odd appearance of extremity, crepitus due to bone fragments rubbing together, edema, erythema, neurovascular impairment.
Complication of a bone fracture can include infection (osteomyelitis), compartment syndrome, fat embolism (most common with long bone fractures) etc.
