Bone Fractures

A bone fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone, often caused by trauma, such as a fall or impact. Fractures can vary in severity, from hairline cracks to complete breaks that may pierce the skin. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected area. Treatment may involve immobilization with a cast or splint, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary to realign the bone. Healing takes time and may require rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility. Proper care and rest are crucial for recovery.
