facture - ✔✔Break in the continuity of a bone
Fracture is Most Common in : - ✔✔Patients who have experienced trauma
and older adults
Long Bone Early Complications - ✔✔Fat Embolus
DVT
Compartment Syndromea
Compartment syndrome - ✔✔occurs when swelling causes increased
pressure leading to decreased blood flow and potential muscle and nerve
damage... EMERGENT
For long bone fracture you should monitor - ✔✔Pulses and Temp.
Closed Fracture (SImple Fracture) - ✔✔Fracture is with in the skin, muscle
and fascia
Open Fracture (Compound Fx) - ✔✔Fracture penetrates the skin, muscle,
fascia
Transverse fracture - ✔✔Occurs at right angle of bone axis
,Linear fracture - ✔✔fracture occurs parallel to bone axis
Nondisplaced Fracture (stable Fracture) - ✔✔Broken ends of the bone
remain aligned
Displaced fracture (Compound) - ✔✔Broken ends of bone do not align
requires immediate attention.
Spiral - ✔✔Fracture Spirals around bone, common in sports and children
Green Stick - ✔✔bone fragments still partially join, children affected
communuted fracture - ✔✔break or splinter of the bone into more than 2
fragments, such as high-impact trauma (MVA)
Greenstick - ✔✔xray will show fracture on only one side but the other side
will look normal.
3 Stages of Healing - ✔✔-Inflammatory/Reactive Phase
-Reparative Phase
-Remodeling Phase
Signs and Symptoms of Compartment Syndrome - ✔✔Reduce Blood Flow
