a sprain means that you have jarred the injured body part. A fracture is when you dent or break the bone. A few weeks ago I buckle fractured my arm and it was broken on the inside of my bone not the outside.
fracture
actually, u can have a bone fracture, but i can also be many things,like a sprain or severe buising, or a twist, but to be sure you have to have a exray.
Fracture - but it depends on the type of it or how severe was it.
yes
A strain is an overstretched or "pulled" or torn muscle. a sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament (holds bones together at a joint), and a fracture is a crack, chip, break or crush of a bone.
The average injury is a sprain or fracture.
all treatments must allow the injured parts to rest
In the case of a fracture or sprain, the goal is to keep weight off the injured limb during healing. Crutches allow the patient to use only a single foot, plus the two crutch tips, for the stable tripod stance.
Typically it is easier to see dense things like bone on an x-ray. X-rays are not ideal for examining soft tissue.
Yes, but not at the joint that is sprained, or the area further from the body (distal) in relation to the sprain. Instead, apply First Aid, such as RICE. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation. If it is a severe sprain, it is best to have it X-rayed to make sure there is not a fracture associated with it.
there is no such thing the ligaments will never have enough force to rip skin open the word compound usually goes with the word fracture a compound fracture is where the bone is goes through the skin and is visible
Yes. The amount of swelling depends on several things, such as how bad the sprain is, how strong your ankle is, whether this is your first sprain, and how fast you get ice and compression on it.
