Fractures

     Treatment for some types of bone fractures is not as simple as wearing a cast for a few months and doing a little rehabilitation. Compound, comminuted, and avulsion fractures are extremely serious and may have permanent affects. A fracture is a broken bone. A bone may be completely fractured or partially fractured in any number of ways (crosswise, lengthwise, in multiple pieces). The severity of a fracture usually depends on the force that caused the break.

• Stable Fracture: The broken ends of the bone line up and are barely out of place.
• Open, Compound Fracture: The skin may be pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of the fracture. The bone may or may not be visible in the wound.
• Transverse Fracture: This type of fracture has a horizontal fracture line.
• Oblique Fracture: This type of fracture has an angled pattern.
• Comminuted Fracture: In this type of fracture, the bone shatters into three or more pieces.
