- Fracture of the lower leg - and especially the consequences
- Features and manifestation of injury
Fractures of the tibia most frequently occur as a result of road accidents as well, and when doing some sports - such as football and skiing. Not attached belt very often results in a fracture of the lower leg, especially in the case of a frontal collision (of course, with such an accident this may not be the most serious injury). When a fracture occurs in sports, the fracture line is often similar to a spiral
Intrauterine device - how to avoid complications?
- So it turns out, if there was a fracture of tibia during rapid and / or sudden movement. Very susceptible to such injury motorcyclists, as a motorcycle often falls on the foot, and then for a while it presses its weight.
Fracture of tibia and fibula
The drumstick consists of two long bones. Tibia big and strong, in the context of - a little rectangular shape; it takes on a greater part of the weight when loadings. Fibula - a thin, attached to the knee and ankle on the outside of the leg. It's hard to break the tibia, fibula without breaking; the reverse is not always true.
Complications shin fracture
One of the long bones in the body, most often the tibia does not grow together properly, even though the use of the best methods of treatment. This often leads to the necessity of prolonged hospitalization.
Among the possible complications tibia fracture: gap artery pressure rises with some parts of the legs, peroneal nerve damage, resulting in deterioration of mobility of the foot and change of gait.
In addition, prolonged pressure on the leg during rehabilitation therapy can cause serious limitation oxygen supply to the muscle and nerve tissue, which are below the fracture, and in more severe cases, lead to gangrene, amputation and even death. Infections, especially if pathogens got into the drumstick through open wounds over the fracture site, it is extremely difficult to treat. In this sense, it is particularly dangerous fractures received a fall from a motorcycle as a motorcycle can drag for a person at some distance - and pollution almost inevitably fall into the wound. There are chances of getting small pieces of fat tissue into the bloodstream; they may block some blood vessels. Prolonged immobilization during rehabilitation therapy only contributes to the development of various complications.
Restoration
To further normally take on weight, the shin bone should grow together properly. To do this, sometimes it is necessary to use special screws, and then - stretching bones. Even if all goes well on the whole, the recovery after breaking the tibia can be difficult and time-consuming. However, in the absence of proper treatment due to fracture tibia almost inevitably become disability.
