This document provides an overview of fractures including their definition, goals of treatment, how they happen, complications, life saving measures, maintaining reduction through internal methods, and local factors. The key points are that a fracture is a break in the bone's structural continuity along with some soft tissue injury, treatment goals are healing in a satisfactory position and restoring function, and fractures can be caused by twisting, compression, bending or tension on the bone.

3. Definitions
Fracture
A break in the structural continuity
of bone (but we have to
remember that there is always
some degree of soft tissue injury
with a fracture)

4. Goals of fracture treatment
• Prevent fracture and soft tissue
complications
• Get fracture to heal and in satisfactory
position for optimal functional recovery
• Intra-articular fracture needs accurate
reduction & rigid fixation but non articular
fracture of bone require anatomical
reduction & stable fixation.
• Rehabilitate as early as possible by active
& passive exercises.
• Restore patient to optimal functional state

5. How fracture happen
.

6. 1. Twisting causes a spiral fracture;
2. Compression causes a short oblique fracture;
3. Bending results in fracture with a triangular
'butter-fly‘ fragment;
4. Tension tends to break the bone transversely;
