Flexion Fracture

A flexion fracture is a type of fracture in which damage occurs to the long bones or joint capsule on both sides of the joint. In this case, bone fragments are displaced in the joint area in the same plane, and the articular surfaces may also shift toward each other. A fracture is considered chronic if the full rehabilitation period takes more than twelve months. There are closed and open flexion fractures. The most common ones are fractures of the ulna, ankle, heel, collarbone and ankle. The injury is characterized by sharp pain and bruising. Complications can arise from both cartilage tissue and bone fragments. Most often, dislocations occur in the hip joint. Loss of mobility and deformation of joints can lead to complete immobilization of victims. The difficulty lies in diagnosing a flexion fracture and predicting a positive outcome. Treatment is combined and performed surgically. Important

A flexion fracture is a congenital or acquired defect of the upper limb due to injury or disease of the soft tissues, when the heads of the radius and ulna bones are displaced relative to the radius and ulna bones. If left untreated, such a deformity of the upper limb can lead to severe pain and impaired movement function.

The mechanism of injury causes the appearance of a fracture of the Kernig-Ivanovich syndrome type. And the injury is usually accompanied by a complete dislocation of the forearm. Less often it is incomplete and requires open reduction. A poor prognosis for the articulation of the radius with the olecranon process of the ulnar tubercle is caused by
