A bone fissure is actually a type of fracture, referring to a fracture where there is a crack in the cortical bone, but the stability of the bone is maintained. When a bone fissure occurs, it's important to immobilize and rest, avoiding excessive movement to prevent aggravating the cortical crack. Therefore, after a bone fissure occurs, common symptoms of a fracture such as pain, swelling, and limited mobility may also appear. Hence, if pain is severe after a bone fissure, it might be appropriate to choose some pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

How to care for a bone fracture?

For patients with bone fractures, it is fortunate if there is no displacement. They must strictly use orthopedic casts or splints for external fixation. This effectively prevents the possibility of displacement at the fracture site and aids in the healing of the fracture. For patients with significant swelling, try to elevate the affected limb to facilitate venous return and reduce swelling. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and drugs that promote fracture healing is appropriate. In terms of diet, nutrition should be enhanced, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, as well as smoking and alcohol, as these can affect the healing of fractures.

Will a bone fracture cause swelling?

A bone fissure is actually a type of fracture. It refers to the occurrence of a fissure fracture in the cortex of the bone, but the stability of the bone remains intact. A bone fissure can also present symptoms such as localized pain, swelling, and restricted movement. Following a bone fissure, there will be localized bleeding, and the surrounding soft tissues may also be damaged, contributing to swelling. Therefore, in the early stages of a bone fissure, it is advisable to immobilize and rest the affected area. Cold compresses can be applied to reduce local blood flow, thereby easing bleeding and alleviating swelling.

Is the bone fracture serious?

Is a bone fracture serious? First, it needs to be clarified that a bone fracture is indeed very serious. This indicates that the external force involved at the time was quite strong, disrupting the continuity and integrity of the local bone. It usually manifests as local swelling, pain, and restricted movement. Some patients may experience extensive subcutaneous bruising, and even a low fever, so a bone fracture is indeed very serious. For such patients, active treatment with plaster cast immobilization is necessary, elevating the affected limb, and using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications, as well as drugs that promote fracture healing.

Will a bone fracture be painful?

A bone fissure is actually a type of fracture, which refers to a fracture where there is a crack in the cortical bone, but the stability of the bone remains intact. Symptoms of a bone fissure include pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Treatment for a bone fissure should follow the same protocols as for fractures, such as appropriate immobilization, early local cold compresses to reduce swelling, and alleviating the severity of pain and swelling. Therefore, pain is present when a bone fissure occurs, as it is a type of fracture. During treatment, it is important to monitor for disturbances in sensory and blood circulation in the limbs, particularly the extremities. Sometimes, a bone fissure can cause increased local swelling, leading to sensory and circulation disturbances in the extremities. In such cases, observation is crucial, and it is advisable to seek treatment at an orthopedic department in a reputable hospital if a bone fissure occurs.
