Classification Current preference in terminology is to use open rather than compound to denote a fracture with an overlying wound. GustilloAnderson \classification (1) The prevalence of wound infection and nonunion increases with increasing grade of open fracture. The Gustillo Anderson classification of open fractures looks at several aspects of the injury not just the size of the wound. • Prescence or absence of neurovascular injury • Degree of contamination (farmyard injuries are grade

Fracture * Bones form the skeleton of the body and allow the body to be supported against gravity and to move and function in the world. Bones also protect some body parts‚ and the bone marrow is the production center for blood products. * Bone is not a stagnant organ. It is the body’s reservoir of calcium and is always undergoing change under the influence of hormones. Parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium levels by leeching calcium from bone‚ while calcitonin has the opposite effect

Compound Fractures A compound fracture‚ also known as open fracture‚ is a fracture of the bone wherein the affected bone penetrates out from the skin and there is laceration of the surrounding soft tissue. A broken bone refers to a fracture‚ in medical terminology. Bone fractures are quite common‚ with people experiencing at least two in their lifetime‚ on an average (Eisenberg‚ 2007). A fracture occurs when the affected bone is subject to a physical force that is stronger than it can sustain. Age

BONE FRACTURES A fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone resulting from the application of excessive force. A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone. They are injuries of bone tissue‚ which compromise their ability to support the body. It can be the result of high force impact or stress‚ or trivial injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones‚ such as osteoporosis‚ bone cancer‚ or osteogenesis imperfecta

Among health care professionals break is a much less common term when talking about bones. However‚ both break and fracture mean that the normal
