What is Fracture?

A break in the bone. These are typically caused by high-energy injuries given the strength of bone tissue. However, patients with weakened bones from conditions like osteoporosis and bone cancers may experience fractures from minor injuries.

Typical Symptoms of Fracture

Diagnostic Questions for Fracture

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Do you have pain on the left side of your chest?
  • Are you experiencing arm pain?
  • Are you experiencing muscle pain?
  • Are you experiencing hip pain?
  • Do you have chest pain on the right side?

Treatment of Fracture

Bone heals naturally, so treatment aims to ensure the healing bone stays in alignment through casting or surgery. Surgery may involve many techniques to align and fixate the bone.

Q.

What are the key differences between a broken and a sprained ankle?
