Abstract:
Pain caused by bone fractures needs to be treated promptly and adequately to avoid negative secondary effects. Pain therapy and the healing of soft tissue are goals that are equally as important as healing of the fracture. The following factors have analgesic potential: reduction, immobilization, cooling measures, limb elevation and fasciotomy. Symptomatic treatment of pain is orientated to the WHO stepped approach, which attaches particular importance to the regular administration of analgesics, as dictated by clinical effectiveness.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
