Swelling and ecchymosis: after fracture, it often causes damage, swelling and ecchymosis of surrounding tissue. The skin may appear cyan and purple ecchymosis, but the local swelling of deep fracture, such as femoral neck fracture, is not obvious.

matters needing attention

Fractures are often associated with soft tissue injury, and the serious consequences of these combined injuries often exceed the fracture itself, such as skull fracture combined with brain tissue injury or intracranial hematoma.
