Trauma :

Trauma to the body causes not only fractures of the bones but, disrupts the soft tissues envelope around the bone causing damage to the skin, muscles, tendons, nerves and blood vessels.

Treatment requires healing of bone and soft tissue injury.

• • SIMPLE FRACTURE is a fracture where the soft tissue covering is intact.
• • COMPOUND FRACTURE is a fracture where the fractured bone ends are exposed due to injury of the soft tissue and skin.
• • COMPLEX FRACTURES are the fractures with multiple bone fragments, fractures extending into the joints and fractures associated with muscles, nerves and blood vessel damage and loss of skin and soft tissue.
• • FRACTURE DISLOCATIONS are fractures associated with joint disruptions and articular surface dissociation.
