​What is Fracture
- Fracture involves break in the continuity of a bone
- Fracture is often diagnosed with X-ray or CT scan

Types of Fracture (Mechanism of Injury)

Pathological Fracture
- Fracture caused by impaired bone condition (e.g. osteoporosis), rather
than excessive force or high speed trauma.

Stress Fracture
- Fracture caused by repetitive normal forces. This leads to bone strain
and subsequent fracture.

Simple Fracture
- Fracture caused by excessive force or high speed trauma

Fracture Induced Life-Threatening Injuries
- Arterial haemorrhage, or loss of blood characterized by excessive swelling
and bruising.
- Neurological damage, characterized by loss of sensation and muscle strength
- Organ damage.

Fracture Management - Prognosis (What Happens Next)
- Generally, fracture heals within 4-12 weeks. Healing time varies depending
on the type and location of fracture.

Fracture Management - Immobilization
- Immobilization provides joint stability, reduces pain, and encourages
bony union or fracture healing 
- However, prolonged immobilization will induce muscle weakness, and
joint and muscle stiffness

Fracture Management - Benefits of Massage
- Massage induces ​​pain relief.
- Massage breaks down muscle restrictions and scar tissues, thus
enhances mobility and reduces stiffness.
- Massage enhances circulation, which facilitates healing and reduces swelling.
- Massage induces proper alignment of the newly produced collagen fibers or
scar tissues post-fracture.
