Fractures or broken bones can be of various types. A Fracture may require the intervention of an Orthopedic surgery that involves a complex trauma surgery, immobilization of the bone/joint, and further physiotherapy once healing has reached a desired stage. The information ahead will help you know what common types of fractures are that require surgical interventions and various other aspects of complex trauma surgeries.
The common causes of bone fractures include trauma such as a car crash, slipping over, falling, and awkward landings. Some other reasons for fractures can be overt stress, repeated exercise, or training causing stress fractures which are usually hairline.
There are a wide range of fractures recognized, namely –
- Open/Closed
- Displaced/undisplaced
- Comminuted
- Greenstick
- Compression/ Burst Fracture Spine
- Avulsion
- Dislocation with fracture
The common symptoms of Bone fractures include sudden onset severe pain, swelling, deformity of the limb, and inability to move the injured limb.
Fractures are diagnosed by an Orthopedic Trauma Surgeon. A detailed clinical examination followed by an X-ray to determine the extent of the break or damage to the bone helps diagnose a fracture.
It can be treated by Surgery or by conservative methods. In cases of hairline or minimally displaced fractures, conservative treatment in the form of a slab or cast (depending on swelling)/ braces for immobilization of the bone or joint is done. In complex trauma cases, surgical procedures called Open reduction – Internal fixation with the help of metal pins, rods, and plates are used to align and stabilize the fractures. The decision for the surgery is taken by your Orthopedic Surgeon. After the surgery, the limb is immobilized for a particular period for fracture healing following which rehab and physiotherapy are done due to the long-term inactivity of the muscles and ligaments to make the joint and muscles mobile.
An Orthopedic Trauma surgery includes surgeries for intra-articular joint fractures and other complicated fractures of the limbs. The fractures that involve joints require a skilled surgeon’s hands for fixation of the fracture fragments. These fractures need an accurate reduction and internal fixation under the guidance of an image intensifier X-ray machine. Stable fixation requires the use of state-of-the-art implants for which CSI is known.
