Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of fractures?
The most common causes of fractures include falls, trauma from car accidents or sports injuries, osteoporosis (which weakens bones), overuse or repetitive stress (as seen in stress fractures), and certain medical conditions that affect bone strength, such as cancer or bone infections.
What are the most common fracture types you see?
The most common types of fractures include stable fractures, where the broken ends of the bone line up; compound (open) fractures, where the bone breaks through the skin; comminuted fractures, where the bone shatters into three or more pieces; transverse fractures, which are horizontal breaks across the bone; oblique fractures, which are diagonal breaks across the bone; and greenstick fractures, partial fractures common in children where the bone bends and cracks.
What kinds of bone fracture symptoms should I look out for?
Common symptoms of a bone fracture include intense pain at the site, swelling, bruising, or tenderness, difficulty moving the affected area, and deformity or an unusual shape of the limb. You may also hear a cracking or grinding sound during the injury. In severe cases, the bone may even protrude through the skin, known as an open fracture. If you suspect a fracture, seek medical attention immediately.
