About Complex Fractures
High-impact trauma or severe bone stress frequently causes complex fractures. Severe accidents that apply excessive force on the bone, including auto accidents or falls from great heights, are common causes. Complex fractures can also result from sports injuries, especially those involving contact or high-intensity activity. Furthermore, even with little stress, the bones may become weaker due to underlying diseases like osteoporosis or bone cancers, increasing their vulnerability to fractures. Complex fractures can complicate the healing process by affecting numerous bones or involving multiple fragments.
Treatment and Rehabilitation
To guarantee appropriate healing and function restoration, treating complicated fractures calls for an all-encompassing strategy. To stop movement and lessen pain, the first line of treatment usually consists of immobilizing the fracture with casts, splints, or traction. To realign the bone pieces and secure them with internal fixation devices such plates, screws, or rods, surgery may be required in more severe situations. With an emphasis on physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility, rehabilitation is an essential part of the healing process. Taking into account the patient's general health and the complexity of the fracture, the treatment strategy is customized to meet their unique demands.
