Fracture of the long bone

Fractures occur in individuals of all ages. However, the type and body location vary widely depending on different factors, mainly related to individual bone quality and the nature of the trauma. The effect of long bone fracture might cause fataly to the injured person. Associated injuries should be diligently searched for and neurovascular status should be evaluated. At least two 90° orthogonal x-rays (e.g., anteroposterior and lateral) should be obtained, with inclusion of the joints proximal and distal to the site of suspected injury. Proper immobilization, analgesia, and timely referral can greatly enhance patient comfort and ensure optimal outcome. Some nondisplaced long bone fractures can be treated conservatively. Operative management is mandatory in several conditions.

General purpose:

• Student can recognize signs and symptoms in life threatening trauma.
• Student can do live saving in trauma patient.
• Student can do initial management in long bone fracture cases.
• Student can do proper immobilization in long bone fracture cases.
• Student can understand indication for operative management in long bone fracture.

Special purpose:

• Students can recognize the signs and symptoms of life-threatening condition in the acute settings
•  Students can take action life saving in patients trauma especially in long bone fracture.
