Pathology Pathophysiology
• Bone fractures mainly affects the function of
• Fracture is a complete or incomplete break in bone skeletal and muscular systems
resulting from the application of excessive force • Depending on how severe the trauma is, this can
cause the individual to experience temporary
Oblique Spiral Etiology restricted movement
Bone is broken Bone is • Most broken bones are caused by:
on a slant twisted • Running and walking How?
• Sudden sharp blow • When an individual is injured the fracture in the
Comminuted Compound • Falls
Bone is crushed Open fracture bone prevents them from moving due to pain or
in three or more • Heavy lifting the damage of the bone.
fragments • Combat injury
