Parents in particular often ask themselves how they can recognise whether their child has broken a bone, as children are not yet able to communicate so well. Children's bones are more flexible and can absorb a blow or impact better than adults. However, any bone can break under heavy pressure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The best indication of a broken bone is a snapping sound, but you are not always there when it happens.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Typical symptoms of a bone fracture <\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Swelling<\/p>\n Sensitivity to pain when touched<\/p>\n Severe pain, particularly concentrated in one area<\/p>\n Stiffness<\/p>\n Increased pain during movement<\/p>\n Immobility of the joint<\/p>\n Strongly angled joint<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n If the affected area is very swollen but has no other symptoms, you can first cool the injury and see if it improves. If it does not improve or even gets worse, the affected person should be examined by a doctor.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n What is a fracture<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The word fracture is used for fractures of any size.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Greenstick fracture: The bone bends and breaks on one side. This mainly occurs in the centre of long bones, such as in the arms and legs.<\/p>\n Torus fracture\/bead fracture: One side of the bone collapses, the other side remains intact. The bone is not actually broken, but weakened. Most fractures in children are torus fractures.<\/p>\n Complete fracture: The bone breaks through completely.<\/p>\n Non-displaced fracture: The bone has completely broken through, but is still in its correct position.<\/p>\n Dislocated fracture: The bone ends are separated from each other and are no longer in the correct position.<\/p>\n Closed fracture: The skin over the fracture is intact.<\/p>\n Open fracture: Part of the broken bone protrudes from a wound.<\/p>\n Stress fracture\/ hairline fracture: Tear in the bone structure caused by repeated pressure on the bone.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Parents in particular often ask themselves how they can recognise whether their child has broken a bone, as children are not yet able to communicate so well.
