Special symptoms and signs of fracture?

summary

Different parts of the fracture, different types of fracture, the symptoms are different. Generally speaking, there will be abnormal activities, abnormal joint movement and limited movement after fracture. Patients will feel different degrees of pain, local bleeding, traumatic inflammation and edema changes. Displacement of the fracture segment can change the shape of the affected limb, mainly manifested as shortening, angulation or rotation. The fracture end may produce the bone sound or the bone rub feeling. Severe open fractures can cause fever and shock. Now let's understand the symptoms of fracture? Let's talk about it.

Special symptoms and signs of fracture?

First, local pain and tenderness. Because of local tissue injury or muscle spasm, different degrees of pain may occur after fracture. There were obvious local tenderness and percussion pain in the fracture site. This is also one of the important basis for us to judge whether there is fracture.

Second, local swelling, ecchymosis and skin abrasions. After fracture, local blood vessels are injured, collaterals are blocked, and swelling may appear. If there is more bleeding at the fracture site, the myofascial integrity prevents the bleeding from overflowing, or the circulation is blocked due to the compression of the fracture end, the pressure in the myofascial area will continue to increase, affecting the arterial blood perfusion, resulting in muscle ischemia and hypoxia, and in severe cases, muscle necrosis and ischemic muscle contracture.

Third, local dysfunction. After fracture, due to the destruction of the internal support of the limbs, the limbs lose their due leverage, and at the same time, the muscle reflex spasm is caused by pain, and the limb function may be partially limited or completely lost. However, there may not be obvious dysfunction in green branch fracture and embedded fracture, which should be carefully examined.

matters needing attention

In daily life, be more careful and pay attention to your every move, so as to avoid unnecessary pain and trouble caused by limb fracture caused by falling and bumping. Care for health, let's start from now on.
