Fracture Closed

Closed fractures have always been a scary occurrence for most people. A fracture is a break in the bone that can occur as a result of trauma. A closed fracture is when the skin remains intact, meaning the skin and bone remain intact. In such a situation, the bones can freely move relative to each other, which leads to disruption of their normal functioning.

**Causes and symptoms of a closed fracture**

There are many reasons for the formation of a closed fracture. Fractures can occur during sports activities, falls from a height and other accidents.

Symptoms of a closed fracture may include swelling and tenderness in the area of ​​the body where the injury occurred. Also, deformation and unnatural positioning of the bone may be observed, which indicates a chip or separation from the main body. Other symptoms may include severe pain when trying to move the injured bone, and an inability to perform certain activities with a lower limb injury such as walking or running.

If you suspect you have a closed fracture, it is recommended that you see a doctor immediately. Treatment for a closed fracture usually involves realigning the broken bone, securing it in place, and/or using orthotics or prosthetics to help restore mobility.

However, some closed fractures may be nonunion, meaning the bones grow back together. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including inflammation, infection, or improper alignment of the bone. If such a fracture does not heal well enough, it may develop complications in the future, such as joint instability or stiffness after the fracture. Therefore, it is important to treat a closed fracture only under the supervision of a qualified physician.
