SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A FRACTURE

Fractures cause sudden pain, swelling, and deformity. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial for quick treatment. 

Sharp pain occurs immediately after the injury. Pain worsens with movement or pressure. Persistent discomfort signals a potential fracture.

Sudden Pain

Swelling 

Bruising 

Bruising appears around the injured area. Red, purple, or blue discoloration may occur. Bruises often worsen over time.

The affected limb may appear bent or crooked. Visible misalignment indicates a possible fracture. The injury site looks unusually shaped.

Deformity 

Moving the injured area becomes difficult or painful. Mobility is severely restricted after a fracture. Any movement causes extreme discomfort.

Limited Mobility 

A grinding feeling occurs during movement. Bone fragments may rub together painfully. Movement creates unusual sensations or sounds.

Circled Dot

Grinding Sensation 

Unable to stand or walk without extreme pain. Applying pressure worsens the pain significantly. Weight-bearing becomes almost impossible.
