Fracture Depressed

A depressed fracture is a type of intraosseous fracture of bones, characterized by depression of the deformed process of one bone into the spongy substance of another bone at the same level.

This type of fracture is the most common injury to the tubular bones of the extremities, in particular multiple fractures of the tibia, upper and lower extremities. Depressed fractures account for 52-62% of the total number of fractures of long tubular bones. Along with this, a “boot” type fracture is also common. Its frequency increases in childhood and old age and during epidemic hepatitis. Treatment of depressed and posterior fractures
