∙ 10y agoThe treatment of fracture will depend upon the site and type of fracture. Simple cracks and undisplaced fractures can be treated by immobilisation with a plaster cast. Complicated and open or compound fractures may require surgery and fixation with nail, plates and screws with antibiotic cover.

∙ 11y agoAny foreign material (dirt, stones, fabric, etc) should be removed and the area thoroughly cleansed with sterile isotonic water. The break should be reduced - the ends placed back into alignment - and the fracture stabilized through appropriate medical treatment. This may range from a splint for a broken finger to a cast on a broken limb to complete immobilization for severe spinal breaks. Often surgical implants like plates, screws, pins and other devices are used to help maintain the reduction of the fracture.

Which is the name for a broken bone?
A broken bone is often called a "fracture" or "bone fracture". Some examples from the Wikipedia entry on bone fracture. * Complete Fracture- A fracture in which bone fragments separate completely. * Incomplete Fracture- A fracture in which the bone fragments are still partially joined. * Linear Fracture- A fracture that is parallel to the bone's long axis. * Transverse Fracture- A fracture that is at a right angle to the bone's long axis. * Oblique Fracture- A fracture that is diagonal to a bone's long axis. * Compression Fracture-A fracture that usually occurs in the vertebrae. * Spiral Fracture- A fracture where at least one part of the bone has been twisted. * Comminuted Fracture- A fracture causing many fragments. * Compacted Fracture- A fracture caused when bone fragments are driven into each other * Open Fracture- A fracture when the bone reaches the skin * Bug fracture- A fracture when the bone is in place, but the fracture has the appearance of a crushed insect.
A bone fracture where the bone is broken into many fragments is?
a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?
A break in bone?
a break in the bone is the same as a fracture.
What is the proper name for a broken bone?
A fracture for a broken bone. If the bone is broken badly enough to stick out through the skin it is called a compound fracture.
What is the name for a fracture in which one bone fragment is driven into the other?
A bone fracture where the bone fragments are driven into each other is called a "Compacted Fracture".
When a bone breaks What is it called?
When a bone breaks, it is called a fracture.
A bone fracture perpendicular to the bone's axis is called what?
transverse fracture
What type of fracture is characterized by fragmentation of the bone?
When a bone is fractured in such a manner that the bone fragments, it is typically called a comminuted bone fracture.
When a bone breaks it is called?
Fracture and/or stress fracture. Stress Fracture implies that it is just a crack in the bone, whereas a fracture implies a complete breakage or separation of the bone.
