骨折是骨折吗?
A fractured bone is the same thing as a broken bone.
断裂原因
任何人在任何年龄都可能骨折. The most common causes of a bone fracture include:
- 下降,
- 车祸、
- 运动损伤,
- repetitive activities such as running, which can lead to 应力性骨折s.
骨折危险因素
Age and gender influence a person’s risk of fracturing a bone. For example, with women, menopause can cause estrogen loss, which may weaken bones.
Other risk factors that increase your risk of a bone fracture include:
骨折类型
Providers use the following terms to describe different types of fractures.
- An 开放骨折 是伤口裂开的时候吗.
- A 关闭骨折 是当伤口没有破开皮肤的时候.
- A 完成骨折 就是骨头断成两半的时候.
- A 部分断裂 is when the bone is not broken all the way through.
- A 移位性骨折 is when the broken ends of the bone change in alignment.
- 与一个 应力性骨折, the bone has a crack in it due to repetitive forces. 这在x光上很难看到.
- 生长板骨折 are injuries to small areas of tissue at the end of long bones in children. Growth 盘子 change over time and determine the length and shape of the bone when a child is fully grown. They are not as hard as bones so they get injured more easily. Growth 盘子 may not heal correctly without treatment, which will lead to abnormally shaped bones or shorter bones as an adult.
骨折症状
The symptoms of a bone fracture vary depending on which bone is broken and how serious the break is. 骨折的常见症状包括：
- 剧烈的疼痛;
- a noticeable deformity, such as a bump, bend, or twist in the bone;
- 肿胀或擦伤；
- numbness and tingling; and
- 肢体使用或负重有问题.
如何判断骨头是骨折还是擦伤
A bone bruise (sometimes called a contusion) is an injury to the surface of the bone. It is less serious than a fracture but can be painful and uncomfortable. 骨头擦伤了, 血液和液体在受伤部位积聚起来, 是什么导致你的皮肤变色和肿胀.

骨折的治疗

- a splint, which protects just one side of the bone; and

更复杂的断裂可能需要手术. Your orthopedic surgeon may need to stabilize the broken bone with various forms of internal fixation such as screws, 盘子, 棒, 和更多的.
