Fractures By: Cassandra Fox June 20, 2010
Fracture ,[object Object]
The four I will discuss are compound fracture, spiral fracture and comminuted fracture, all of which are pictured below.,[object Object]
An oblique fracture occurs due to the trapping of one bone, while the other bone twists over it.
 X-ray’s can be used to diagnose fractures, however with these a CT scan or MRI can give a more accurate diagnosis.
If the damage to the bone is bad reconstructive surgery is performed. If the damage is small enough and should not affect the impending movement of the bone a cast may be sufficient.,[object Object],[object Object]
Immediate surgery is usually required for this type of fracture.
The surgery involves the realignment of the ends of the fractured bones, and immobilization of the fracture, either by fixing the bone internally or by using external splints.,[object Object],[object Object]
 The treatments for dealing with fractures include surgery or holding the fracture in a cast until it heals completely.
 Surgeries such as internal fixation which includes the use of pins, metal rods, may be used to put the broken bones back to their place.,[object Object],[object Object]
