Fractures in orthopedics
Fractures are a common orthopedic injury characterized by a break in the continuity of bone. They can result from various causes, including trauma, falls, sports injuries, or underlying conditions such as osteoporosis. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility. Proper rehabilitation is essential for restoring function and preventing complications like nonunion or malunion.
