Fractures are very common. They heal in most of the people naturally,
but in some cases it may lead to more problems. Whenever you break a bone, it
could be a result of severe injury. You can notice severe pain and swelling in
the injured area. The severe swelling can put a lot of pressure on the blood vessels.
These blood vessels stop the blood circulation at the fractured body part. The
decreased blood supply can damage the muscles that they can even die. If the
muscles will die, it results in long term disability. This syndrome is called
as compatible syndrome. When the arteries or nerves near the fracture get
damaged due to severe injury, it is called as neurovascular injury.
Infection is another problem one can face when you have an
open fracture. The bones are exposed to air, dirt and bacteria. There lead to
increased risk of infection in the open wound. If the fractured part extends
into the joints, it can cause a lot of problems. The fractured joints sometimes
do not meet at a proper angle.
Some grown abnormalities can also create problems in fractures.
If the injury persists in a growth plate of a child, the bone could grow in an abnormal
manner. This could result to a difference in the length of mature, hard bones.
If the fractured bones take long time in healing, it will
become a matter of worry. It is likely due to a delayed union of fractured
bones. Sometimes it could happen that the bone does not heal in a short time.
This is called as non union of the broken bones.
Normally these problems do not occur. All fractured cases usually
heal up in short time without much problem but if any of the complications
mentioned above, they will not be cured quickly. So you must consult with an expert.
