Principle of Fracture Management

Fracture types• Defn: A break in the continuity of bone. Once
broken, does not fulfill its role of support
• A: whether they are in communication with skin surface i.e Open/ Compound or Closed
– Regard all open fractures as being contaminated– Give TTV– Give antibiotic– Early debridement within 6 hours– The solution to pollution is dilution

• B: There appearance on x-ray image– Transverse– Oblique– Comminuted– Spiral

• C: Cause of the fracture– Acute traumatic fractures– Stress Fractures– Pathological Fractures
![Page 5: Fracture Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/5449d673b1af9f42558b4902/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• C: Anatomical site:– Intra- articular– Metaphyseal– Epiphyseal– Diaphyseal
• NB: Diaphyseal fractures are classified with the bone divided into 3 parts

• Children:– Bones are pliable– Hence the cortex does not break but bend– Called green stick fractures– Have open physeal plate and hence get epiphyseal
injury

Describing A Fracture
• Name of bone fractured• The part of the bone fractured• Displacement• Angulation• Translation • Shortened • Rotated

Fracture Management• Goal: Restore injured part & individual to normal. Don’t
forget soft tissues
• How?– Identify the parts injured– Identifying the role we have to play in facilitating their recovery– Support the individual in their environment whilst undergo
recovery process– Identify those who will not fully recover
![Page 11: Fracture Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/5449d673b1af9f42558b4902/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
– 4 Rs of fracture management
– Recognising the fracture– Reduction of the fracture – Retaining/ Immobilisation of the fracture – Rehabilitation
• Immobilisation is required until fracture union
![Page 12: Fracture Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/5449d673b1af9f42558b4902/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Recognising the fracture• History– Fall, hit by car, limb pain, unable/reluctance to use
limb
• Physical Examination– Swelling over limb acutely, bruising, deformity, tender
area, crepitus, reduced range of motion
• Investigations– Confirms diagnosis– Use of plain x-rays– Use of specialised x-ray images for particular fractures
![Page 13: Fracture Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/5449d673b1af9f42558b4902/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reduction • Need for reduction varies from fracture to
fracture• • Undisplaced fractures do not need reduction
• Intra-articular fractures need anatomical reduction
• • Reduction can be performed as either an open or
closed procedure

Reduction and Retention • Displaced fractures are manipulated with some anaesthesia
• External methods include – Plaster casts – Traction – External fixation
• Internal methods include – Plates – Intramedullary nails – K-wires
• Closed• Open
![Page 15: Fracture Management](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082915/5449d673b1af9f42558b4902/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Indications for internal fixation• Intra-articular fractures - to stabilise anatomical
reduction • Repair of blood vessels and nerves - to protect vascular
and nerve repair • Multiple injuries (poly trauma and poly fractured patients) • Elderly patients - to allow early mobilisation • Long bone fractures - tibia, femur and humerus • Failure of conservative management • Pathological fractures • Fractures that require open reduction • Unstable fractures

Role of classication systems• Epiphyseal injuries• Type I: opening/fracture through physis• Type II:# through physis with metaphyseal
fragment• Type III: through physis and Epiphysis• Type IV: metaphyseal and Diaphyseal
fragment• Type V: Crushing physeal injury

Gustillo-Anderson Classification
• Grade I• A wound caused by a bone spike from within
out, less than 1cm long
• Grade II• A wound between 1-10cm with minimal soft
tissue crushing or stripping

Gostillo Anderson Classification
• Grade IIIA• A high energy injury, with soft tissue crushing or stripping but
adequate cover of bone after debridement• Grade IIIB• A high energy injury, soft tissue crushing or stripping with
exposed bone after debridement• Grade IIIC• Any open fracture with an associated arterial injury, or a
‘farmyard’ injury with gross bacterial contamination
