A fracture, also known as as broken bone, happens when the bone is broken into two pieces by an extensive force applied to the bone which causes the bone to break or shatter. An open fracture happens when a piece of bone extends through your skin because of the force of the injury. A closed fracture happens when the bone is broken, but the skin is intact. You may feel dizzy, woozy, or chilly from the shock.
Some people pass out until their bodies have time to adjust to all the signals they're getting. Also, some people don't feel the pain immediately because of the shock their body receives. The worse things that you could do to someone who has a broken bone is to move it because it will send more shocks of pain through the person’s body. If someone has a broken arm or leg, the smarter thing to do would be to cushion or support the area with towels or pillows. Also, if there are no adults around, you should call 911 services.
There are different types of fracture, therefore, there are different types of symptoms that will happen to the body afterwards. A greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent, but this type of fracture occurs most often in children. The transverse fracture is a fracture at a right angle to the bone's axis. Oblique fracture is a fracture in which the break is at an angle to the bone’s axis. Comminuted fracture is a fracture in which the bone fragments into several pieces. An impacted fracture is one whose ends are driven into each other. This commonly occurs with arm fractures in children and is sometimes known as a buckle fracture.
Symptoms to the body after a bone fracture are usually noticeable. There would be swelling or bruising over a bone where the fracture is. Deformity of an arm or leg, and loss of function in the injured area. Pain in the injured area that gets worse when the area is moved or pressure is applied. In compound fractures, bone is sticking out from the skin.
The most common cause of a broken bone is from a sports injury. The second cause of a broken bone is from a bone disease due to the loss of calcium called Osteoporosis, as a result the bone loses strength and density. Osteomalacia is also a disease that's a cause of bone fractures, it's the weakening of the bone due to problems with bone formation or the bone building process. Though these are all possible causes of a bone fracture, it's important to look out for them. The only symptoms of having osteoporosis is a bone fracture, loss of weight, back or neck pain, and stooped height. The symptoms for having osteomalacia is a bone fracture, muscle weakness, bone pain, or numbness in your arms and legs.
