General discussion about fractures

A fracture is a disruption of continuity particularly characteristic of a bone. Sometimes the bone is separated because of this, and if its particles are small, this is called crushing, and sometimes the fracture occurs without separation. A fracture without division is straight, but there is also a branched straight fracture, sometimes it goes across, and sometimes it goes along, and a transverse fracture can be visible, but it can also be invisible, but a longitudinal fracture, that is, a split or crack, is not visible.

Some people designate types of fractures by special names and call a large fracture that goes across and deep, radish-shaped, cucumber-shaped, branch-like, a fracture that runs along is called strip, and a fracture that runs along with a widening semilunar and branch-like with very small particles of bones is called cholesteric, coarse-grained, nutty. When the fracture is complete, both edges of the bone cannot maintain the opposite position that is due to them in natural continuity, and of necessity move away from the opposite position due to displacement in the surrounding membranes and in the meat, a tingling sensation necessarily occurs, causing pain, and this is followed by swelling if the gap is round and there are no debris, the organ rotates easily. As Hippocrates says, if a broken organ deviates outward, it is much better than if it deviates inward, this is because it encounters more nerves inside and causes pain.

When a fracture occurs near a joint and the septa, edges and depressions in the pits of the bones that receive the heads of the joints are crushed, the joint becomes prone to dislocation. If the fracture occurs near the joint and heals, then movement becomes difficult due to hardening and the resulting callus takes time to soften. It is most severe when this occurs in the joints of small bones; the same thing happens if the joint is naturally narrow, such as the joint of the talus.

The most difficult fracture to heal and heal is a fracture that was circular, but then the bone deviated; it heals only if you keep a surprisingly well-fitted bandage on it for a long time, which is not removed for as long as possible. At the same time, the patient, as we will say, takes foods and medications that increase the amount of blood.

The worst thing, as they say, is a bone fracture inward, not outward, and the assertion that a rupture of the bone marrow is destructive is a thought devoid of content, since the bone marrow is something melting, soft and sticky, and it does not break.

Sometimes, along with a fracture, phenomena such as a wound, hemorrhage and crushing of the meat surrounding the fracture occur, as a result of which, if measures are not taken to prevent rotting or are not cut, gangrene occurs.

The site of a fracture in adults is recognized by pain and by the presence of the cause that caused the fracture or by palpation with the hand, and in small children it becomes obvious by pain, swelling and redness.
