Fractures (Broken Bones)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 440 million people globally suffer from fractures of one kind or another. Thus, fractures are among the most common orthopedic injuries. They happen when a bone breaks due to trauma, falls, or high-impact accidents. Osteoporosis and certain diseases can also weaken bones, making them prone to fractures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Common causes of fractures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car accidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overuse or stress (especially in athletes)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of fractures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruising<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty moving the affected limb<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible deformity<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Treatment of fractures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of a fracture depends on the type and location of the fracture. While minor fractures may need only a cast or splint, severe ones might require surgery and metal implants. Healing typically takes several weeks, followed by rehabilitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_dislocations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Dislocations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dislocation occurs when bones in a joint are forced out of position. It usually affects the shoulder, elbow, knee, or fingers. Dislocations are extremely painful and require immediate medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Common causes of dislocation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trauma from falls<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sports accidents<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blunt force injuries<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of dislocation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intense pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joint deformity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inability to move the joint<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling and bruising<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Treatment of dislocation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors typically perform a procedure called \u201creduction\u201d to realign the joint. The area may then be immobilized with a sling or brace. Physical therapy helps regain full function.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_sprains\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Sprains<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments (the tissue that connects bones). The ankle is the most commonly sprained joint, especially in athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Common causes of sprains:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twisting the joint<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falling awkwardly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stepping on uneven surfaces<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of sprains:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bruising<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited range of motion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Treatment of sprains:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild sprains heal with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.). Severe sprains may need physical therapy or even surgery if the ligament is torn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_strains\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Strains<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strains are injuries to muscles or tendons. Unlike sprains, which affect ligaments, strains involve the tissues that move bones. They are frequent in the lower back and hamstrings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Common causes of strain:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overstretching<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifting heavy objects improperly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repetitive movements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden acceleration or deceleration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Symptoms of strain:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle pain and weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited movement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muscle spasms<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Treatment of strain:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications, and gentle stretching can help.
