Fractures
 Fractured mean broken, the bone is broken, being the partial or total fracture. The bone can partially fracture total or of diverse ways (transverse, longitudinal or in means).
How happens the fractures?
The fractures can happen of diverse forms, but there are three that are most common:
The trauma is what more fractures cause. For example, a fall, a motociclístico accident, a fall practicing a sport, all that can cause fracture.
The osteoporosis also can cause fractures. The osteoporosis is a bony disease in which the bones “are sharpened, “they are more fragile and they are broken with more facility.
The excessive use also can cause fractures, which is very common to see in the athletes (fractures by stress or tire).

How diagnoses a fracture?
If a bone is broken it will give account almost immediately. It can be that it hears a noise as if became broken, the zone around the fracture will cause pain to him and be inflamed, an extremity can perhaps be deformed or the bone can leave through the skin, the medical ones use x-rays generally to diagnose. A fracture by stress will be more difficult to diagnose, it can not appear immediately in x-rayses. Nevertheless, it can have pain, pain when pressing and a little swelling.

Types of fractures
Closed or simple fracture. The bone is broken but the intact skin.
Open or composed fracture. The skin is perforated either by the bone or by the blow at the time of the fracture, in this type of fracture the bone can or not be visible.

Special types of fractures
Fracture transversal. Fracture in right angle with the axis of the bone.
Fracture in green stem. Fracture in which a side of the bone and the opposed one is broken only bends. More in the children are seen.
Comminuted fracture. Of the three more fragment or fracture bone.


Treatments of the fractures
The doctors use plasters, small boards, nails or other devices to maintain the fracture On guard correct while the bone welds.
The methods of external of fixation include emplasto, fiber glass mold, plaster truss, small boards or other devices. Like the external locking devices, that they are bars by outside the skin together with fine nails in the bone.
The internal methods of fixation are used to immobilize the pieces of bone by means of metallic plates, metallic nails or screws while the bone welds.

Recovery and rehabilitation
The fractures can take several weeks or months in welding, it depends on the type of wounded and if the patient follows the instructions of the doctor. The pain disappears long before which the bone is the sufficiently solid thing like supporting to normal activities and pressure.

Still after to have cleared plaster or the small board, it will have to restrict the activities until the bone is sufficiently welded like beginning with its normal activities.
