Probably all of us have had the experience of a fracture. Typical is sharp pain after an injury, which is increasing. In addition, swelling, tingling, deformation or even bleeding. A fracture or fracture is a painful affair. It brings many limitations and treatment is calculated for weeks.
What to do when a fracture occurs and what to do to treat and heal it properly? What are the options for controlling symptoms such as pain, swelling or inflammation that accompany this condition? Read more here.
The 6 most common symptoms or how to recognize a fracture:
A patient with a fracture may also experience nausea and dizziness.[3]
Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis. Do not use this or any other article on the internet to make a diagnosis. Don’t put off seeing a doctor and address your condition early.
A fracture (also called a fracture) is an injury to a bone that results in its complete or partial rupture. Fractures usually involve bones in the limbs. They can also occur in other parts of the body (for example, the spine, pelvis or shoulder) [4 ] Bone fractures can take many forms – the types of fracture vary depending on where and how the bone broke. [5]
Fractures occur most often in falls, injuries and accidents. It can also be caused by osteoporosis, a disease in which bones thin. [6 ] Older age and an unhealthy lifestyle contribute to fractures. [7]
They divide into several groups according to what the fracture point looks like. Where parts of the bone will shift or whether the bone will penetrate through the skin.
Fractures can have different fracture lines. The bone may break transversely, obliquely or in a spiral. A splinter fracture can also occur.[9]
Risk factor for fractures is osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). It mainly affects people over 50 years of age and menopausal women.
Diagnosis begins with a physical examination, during which the doctor examines and palpates the affected area.
If treatment is not effective, this can cause a number of complications.
Restriction of mobility
Prolonged pain and numbness
Infection
Necrosis
Do not delay treatment for a fracture and see a specialist if you have any health problems or doubts about your health. This will prevent unnecessary health complications.
A broken leg or arm cannot go without treatment. The key is strengthening (fixation), which will provide rest for healing. Resting and elevated positioning also contribute to reducing swelling. In some cases, it is necessary to first put the broken bones in the correct position – either by manipulating the limb in the doctor’s office or surgically in the operating room.
Treatment of the fracture can only be determined by your doctor after considering your overall health. Therefore, do not use this article as a guide to treatment, which can only be determined by a doctor.
Each has its own specific procedures for treatment. They also have different healing times.
Patients often ask about Weber’s classification if they want to better understand their injury. This is used to assess the severity of the ankle fracture and how much the ankle has moved from its original location. It focuses on where exactly it is located in relation to the so-called. syndesmosis – which is a joint connection between two bones in the lower leg.
Ankle fractures according to the Weber classification are divided into three categories, depending on where they are located:
Type A: located below the syndesmosis.
Type B: undergoes syndesmosis.
Type C: located above the syndesmosis.
These three types of fractures can have different consequences and require different treatments. For example, a type C fracture may be the most severe as it may be associated with joint injury and require surgery.[23]
Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugsare most commonly used in the treatment of fractures. Analgesics are commonly used drugs to relieve mild to moderate pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are another type of medication that can be used to relieve pain and inflammation.
In some cases, stronger painkillers such as opioids may need to be used if analgesics and NSAIDs are not effective.
The principles of first aid for a fracture include:
If a fractured vertebra is suspected, do not move the injured person. Irreversible changes to the spine and permanent damage to health could occur. [25]
Treatment is usually followed by physiotherapy. Properly chosen exercises will ensure that the weakened muscles in the affected area will become strong again.
The goal of rehabilitation is to fully restore mobility and momentum. Specific exercises and type of physical therapy will be recommended by the physiotherapist. The length of rehabilitation depends on the type of fracture and the age of the patient. [26]
How to prevent fractures? The risk can be reduced mainly by lifestyle.
When treating a fracture, it is necessary to provide immobilization of the broken bone and a resting regime.
Treatment usually lasts several weeks and is followed by rehabilitation.
Follow all recommendations for fracture care, including any check-ups and X-rays.
The treatment of a fracture is always determined by a doctor based on a general examination, an assessment of your condition and an accurate diagnosis.
After a general examination, your doctor will recommend treatment for the fracture. They will also advise you on possible lifestyle adjustments and the next course of action.
Symptomatic treatment focuses on the manifestations or signs (symptoms) of the disease. Such treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and support comprehensive treatment during the course of the disease.

The solution may be symptomatic treatment using pulsed magnetotherapy, which targets symptoms and signs such as pain, swelling and inflammation. In addition, such treatment can support comprehensive treatment and significantly improve quality of life.
The basic principle of Biomag 3D pulsed magnetotherapy is the generation of electromagnetic pulses. These pulses penetrate through the clothing and through the entire depth of the tissue to the point of targeted application. The pulses have specially developed biotropic parameters (e.g. frequency, shape, intensity) to best affect various health problems.
The application is very simple. Select the desired therapeutic effect on the device and attach the connected applicator to the desired application site. Magnetotherapy is usually applied 2 times a day for 20 minutes.
We will be happy to help you try this method free of charge and advise you on which device to purchase.
