Bone fractures, also known as broken bones, occur when the integrity of a bone is compromised due to trauma, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Fractures can vary in severity, ranging from hairline cracks to complete breaks that disrupt the bone’s structure. Common causes of fractures include falls, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and osteoporosis. The symptoms of a fracture may include pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb. Treatment for bone fractures depends on the type and severity of the injury, but may include immobilization with casts or splints, realignment of the bone fragments (reduction), and surgical intervention to stabilize the fracture with pins, plates, or screws. Rehabilitation and physical therapy may also be necessary to restore strength, mobility, and function to the injured area.
