Fracture

A fall, an accident or intense force or even the coexistence of a degenerative disease (e.g..osteoporosis) in a joint can cause some form of fracture.

A fracture of a bone is the medical term used for a broken or cracked bone.

Fractures generally cause pain while

there is swelling, tenderness, deformity, discoloration, and inability to move the affected body part.

Fractures are classified according to:

• their type and location,
• the type of trauma that caused the bone fracture.

Any applied treatment has as its main goal the restoration of the mobility of the joint of the affected bone, since bone healing is

a normal process of the human body.

Radiological examination confirms the evidence of the clinical diagnosis.

Interventional treatment is adopted in those cases where conservative treatment does not seem to have the desired effect, e.g. hip fracture due to osteoporosis.

Fracture treatment before and after with intramedullary nailing.
