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

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;
