At the Traumatological Department

At the traumatological department there are patients with different traumas, fractures, bursitis and tendonitis.

A fracture is a break of a bone. Fractures can occur anywhere in the body and at any age. A fracture is classified by type and extent of the break and its location. All fractures are either complete or incomplete. A complete fracture implies that the bone is divided into two distinct sections. In contrast, an incomplete fracture does not divide the bone into two portions. Besides, there are open and closed fractures. In the open fractures there is a wound on the skin. In the closed fractures there is no wound. The open fractures are more serious ones. If a person breaks his arm or leg he complains of pain in the place of the break. The pain becomes more severe if he presses the place or tries to move. Swelling appears quickly. First aid. Do not let the person move. Use a splint for the broken limb. Bind the splints to the limb but not at the place of the fracture. Doctors use X-rays to see the break and put plaster casts on the broken limbs.
