BROKEN BONES AND FRACTURE INJURIES

A bone fracture is a medical condition where the continuity of a bone is broken. A compound fracture is one that also causes injury to the overlying skin.  There are a number of different types of fractures including avulsion, comminuted, and hairline fractures among others.

Fractures or broken bones can cause: pain, swelling, bruising, discolored skin, angulation (bone may be bent at an unusual angle), loss of ability to weight bear or move the affected area, the affected bone may cause a “grating” sensation; bleeding (in the case of an open fracture), nausea and dizziness.
​
Fractures or broken bone injuries can be the result of an impact injury caused by:

• Motor vehicle collisions
• Motorcycle accidents
• Snowmobile accidents
• Quad accidents
• Sports injuries

• Diving accidents
