Fractures

Most breaks or fractures occur in a bone. Open or compound fractures occur if the bone punctures the skin. Car accidents, along with sports injuries or falls, are the main causes of fractures.  However, fractures too can be a result of osteoporosis.

Symptoms of a fracture are

• Out-of-place or non-aligned joint
• Swelling, bruising or bleeding
• Intense pain
• Numbness and tingling
• Limited mobility or inability to move a limb

Treatment can range from a cast or splint to surgery to place a screw, rod or plate.
