Causes of Fractures
Fractures can be caused by a range of factors
Trauma or injury
Accidents, falls, or sports injuries.
Osteoporosis
A condition where bones become brittle and more prone to breaking.
Repetitive stress
Overuse of a bone, leading to stress fractures.
Age-related bone weakness
As people age, bones naturally become weaker, making fractures more likely.
Infections or diseases
Certain diseases, such as cancer, can weaken bones and make them more susceptible to fractures.
How Are Fractures Treated?
Effective fracture treatment is essential to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. The treatment plan depends on the severity and type of fracture. Common treatment methods include:
Rest and Immobilization :
Using casts, splints, or braces to keep the bone in place while it heals.
Medication :
Pain relief medications and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce discomfort and swelling.
Physical Therapy :
After the bone has healed, physiotherapy is recommended to restore strength and mobility to the affected area.
