![]() ![]() Appear clammy and pale, and experience nausea and dizziness.The sensitivity to a stimulus may increase in the affected joint or bone.The person is unable to move the affected region.The affected part may be angulated, i.e., being bent unusually.The patient is not able to apply weight on the affected area.Discolored tissues of the skin around the injured region.The signs of a fracture depend on the affected bone, general health, age of the patient and the degree of the severity of injury caused. Children with a considerably more non-sedentary lifestyle, compared to adults have a higher propensity for fractures. With the natural process of aging, two factors increase the probability of having a fracture, heightened risk of collapsing and weaker bones. Bones in healthy people are resilient, sturdy and can bear surprisingly powerful impacts. Most fractures occur because of an automobile accident or a bad fall. It may also be noted that some fractures do emerge in the beginning as the non-displaced type but later transform to a displaced fracture. Such type of fractures is not typically visible to the naked eye. In case of a non-displaced fracture, the bone breaks at a single point only and remains aligned. When a bone is exposed to some mechanical force to a significant degree, the applied pressure causes it to bend to such a severity that it snaps eventually and breaks. Any broken bone or bones in the human body is called a fracture in medical lingo.
