Fractures, dislocations, and orthopedic trauma
About the disease & condition
Fractures are bone breaks, and dislocations are joint misalignments caused by trauma or accidents. Common causes include falls, sports injuries, osteoporosis, and road accidents. Diagnosis involves X-rays, CT, or MRI. Complications include improper healing, infection, and chronic pain. Management focuses on prompt immobilization, bone-strengthening diet, protective gear during activities, and timely medical intervention to ensure proper healing and restore function.
