Description

A break in the continuity of the bone can be termed as a bone fracture. The break can be both partial or complete. A bone fracture is usually caused by high force impact or minimal trauma injury. Some medical conditions, like osteoporosis, bone cancer and osteopenia can also cause bone fracture. The treatment of bone fractures may involve immobilization, pain management and surgery. Many fractures require the alignment of the bone in the right position and immobilizing the fractured limb using a fibreglass cast, plaster or splint. Radiographic imaging, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are some of the common tests used to diagnose bone fracture. Bone fracture may also be coupled with damage to adjacent muscles, nerves or blood vessels. Some fractures can lead to complications such as compartment syndrome, non-union, mal-union, etc. This book explores all the important aspects of bone fracture in the present day scenario. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for doctors and experts.
