Resource summary

fracture in the arm
  1. first aid of fractures
    1. 1. Stop bleeding 2. Avoid moving the affected area 3. Cool the affected area 4. Treat the patient's shock 5. Call the ambulance
    2. A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone or cartilage.
      1. common causes: falls, car accidents, direct blow, pathological
        1. pathological causes: osteoporosis, low BMD
        2. signs and symptoms: pain, bleeding, numbness, swelling and tenderness, limitation of movement
        3. types of bone fractures
            1. Salter-Harris Fractures
              1. Fractures that involve the epiphyseal plate alone or in combination with a part of the bone.
            2. brachial plexus
              1. the sets of nerves supplying the shoulder, upper and lower hand
                1. bone fractures can affect the nerves near the fracture
                  1. eg: wrist drop, the radial nerve is affected
                    1. physiotherapy for wrist drop
                      1. wrist flexion and extension stretch, supination, grip strengthening
                    2. eg: surgical neck fractures can cause damage to the axillary nerve
                  2. Management of Bone Fracture
                    1. Stop any bleeding immobilization
                      1. put a Plaster casts or plastic functional braces
                        1. cast types :
                          1. plastic, synthetic, splint (half cast), cast brace
                          2. Cast complications
