Spontaneous fractures are a growing clinical concern, yet nursing research is limited. This review identifies causes and prevention strategies to improve patient care and reduce nurse burden.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Nursing Research
- Patient Safety
Context:
- Spontaneous fractures are an increasing clinical issue with limited nursing research.
- Gaps in understanding pose medical-legal risks and exacerbate nursing pressures.
- Understaffing in the nursing profession is a significant concern.
Purpose:
- Review existing research on spontaneous fractures.
- Determine epidemiological causes of clinical spontaneous fractures.
- Identify effective prevention strategies for spontaneous fractures.
Summary:
- This article reviews spontaneous fracture research, focusing on epidemiological causes.
- It aims to identify effective prevention and treatment strategies.
- The review seeks to bridge knowledge gaps in nursing research.
Impact:
- Increase awareness of spontaneous fractures among healthcare professionals.
- Facilitate the establishment of screening mechanisms for high-risk patients.
- Empower nurses to implement proactive prevention and treatment strategies.

01:27Fractures: 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...

Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
