What disease is arm fracture?

Arm fracture is a common traumatic injury.

Arm fracture is usually caused by direct or indirect violence. Direct violence can cause obvious damage to the fracture site, while indirect violence can lead to more complex fracture types. Typical symptoms such as arm pain, swelling, deformity, and limited mobility can occur. Pain is often severe, swelling can significantly change the appearance of the arm, and deformity is an intuitive manifestation of fracture dislocation. Limited mobility seriously affects daily life and work. The doctor usually confirms the diagnosis by physical examination, X-ray and other imaging examinations. Physical examination can initially determine the fracture situation, X-ray can clearly show the specific location, type and displacement degree of fracture. Depending on the specific situation of fracture, treatment includes manual reduction and external fixation or surgical open reduction and internal fixation. For simple stable fractures, manual reduction and fixation with plaster or splint may be sufficient; while complex unstable fractures may require surgery for precise reduction and fixation.
