Fractures are broken
bones but there are many different types
and bones can fracture in a number of different
ways:
Bones can fracture in a number of
different ways:
A closed or simple fracture
is where the bone is broken but
the skin is not lacerated.
An open
or compound fracture is where the
skin may be pierced by the bone or
by a blow that breaks the
skin at the time of fracture. This
type of fracture is more serious
because once the skin is broken
it leaves the wound and bone open
to infection.
The repair of a fracture
is a gradual process and generally
requires the bone to be immobilised
for several weeks. Once mobilised again
it is important to build up
strength in the healing bone through
movement, exercise and physiotherapy.
Unfortunately
fractures can take a substantial
amount of time to fully heal. Therefore
if your fracture injuries were due to
an accident or incident where you
were not at fault, you can make a
personal injury claim. If you were
involved in a roadside accident,
sporting accident or any accident
where someone else was responsible,
you can seek compensation against
them.
