subject: What Is A Fracture And Dislocation [print this page] Fractures and dislocations can occur separately, can also be merged occur. Sudden, often accompanied by sound, immediately pain, fractures can cause pain, who often play shock.
(A) of the common symptoms and signs of fracture
1. Pain: the more obvious, moving the increase, can cause shock.
2. Deformity: comparison with the contralateral horn success, variable and short different state.
3. Activity disorder: loss of function of normal activities, but outside in the abnormal joint activities.
4. Swelling: there soon after injury. Becomes hematoma.
5. Tenderness: tenderness at the fracture of the most significant pain in the axis of the fracture on impact.
6. Bone fricative: Low activity or push local touch, the ends will be sound of bone rubbing.
(B) of the symptoms and signs of dislocation
1. Joint deformities: loss of normal joint appearance, signs of bone changes.
2. Activity disorder: loss of function of normal activities, often in semi-elastic buckling of a fixed state.
3. Limb shortening.
4. Local swelling or accumulation of blood.
5. Tenderness.
(C) diagnosis ,According to injuries, symptoms and signs can be diagnosed as follows:
1. Simple closed fracture. Although bone fold, no significant displacement of soft tissue without serious damage. Had not worn the skin.
2. Open fractures. Puncture the skin exposed bone ends, vulnerability, should take care to protect the wound, not contaminated.
3. Complex fractures. Bone ends stabbed nerves, blood vessels, visceral, affecting joints, resulting in severe symptoms.
4. Simple joint dislocation.
5. Complexity of the dislocation, combined with joint fractures and so on.
(D) Field Ambulance
1. Bleeding, pain with resistance to shock.
2. Brake, to prevent the occurrence of other injuries.
3. On open wounds to wash, dress, anti-infection. Should be taken to the hospital within a few hours surgery and injection of anti-tetanus serum.
(E) Brake method
1. Splint. Splint use before you put the remote little traction fracture, and then fixed, elastic to moderate.
2. Autologous fixed. No plywood or other circumstances substitute materials can be used to the injured limb with his trunk and as a temporary bandage or bandage fixed, such as upper limb fixed in the trunk, lower limbs to be fixed by the contralateral.
3.Other objects fixed. Using other certain hardness, toughness, length and width of the right object, instead of plywood for a fixed. This suspected spinal fracture or wounded, not to hurry to the ground from his "rescued" the hard mattress should be handling, while a few people need to turn to the Chuangban Shang, flip to synchronize, must not allow spine with torsion, non-handling or hand to hand carried on a stretcher.
Simple dislocation reduction in the field for practice, and then fixed. Complexity of the dislocation should be sent to hospitals.
