Is called a fracture to a broken bone or a bone discontinuity (crack). The mechanisms capable of producing fractures are of two types, one that locates the fracture live right at the point of impact and an indirect trauma, fracturing a distance from the point of impact. In general, we can classify the fractures into two groups:

Open
Are those in which there is a wound that communicates with the fracture with or without exposure of bone involved. Have a high level of contamination and infection may therefore very well should be disinfected the wound, controlling bleeding (using a pressure bandage), isolating the wound by covering it with sterile gauze and finally freeze as in closed fractures.
Always move to a health center.

Closed
They are called closed fractures when the bone is broken but no injuries to the skin. At the time of discovery, must be immobilized with a well padded splint (ambulance systems are often flammable splints), which immobilize the fractured area, setting it above and below the site presumably broken. Once frozen, transfer to a clinic where a doctor (orthopedist) decide to perform additional tests and treatment to follow. Never attempt to align a member deformed fracture (bone embedded) on its own because of the high risk of producing a vascular injury or neurological.

Fractures should be suspected in any patient who has suffered severe trauma and in which the following are present local symptoms and signs: severe pain that increases with palpation, loss of function, swelling, redness and purplish, more or less marked deformity and / or shortening of a limb; clicking or crepitus, existence of a wound with bone fragments visible). Or general statements which reflect the existence of a hemorrhage or the impact of the phenomena of pain (tachycardia, paleness, etc.).
