8. How will you teach in details fracture of the femur clavicle and

Ans)A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes, due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone.
- A break in the bone connecting the breastbone and
shoulder.
Infants can sometimes experience a clavicle fracture during the
birth process. Other common causes include falls, sports injuries
and trauma from traffic accidents.
- Spinal fractures are different than a broken arm or leg. A fracture or dislocation of a vertebra can cause bone fragments to pinch and damage the spinal nerves or spinal cord. Most spinal fractures occur from car accidents, falls, gunshot, or sports.
- To reduce the risk of infection, open fractures are treated with antibiotics as soon as you arrive at the hospital. The open wound, tissues, and bone will be cleaned during surgery. For the time between initial emergency care and surgery, doctor may place your leg either in a long-leg splint or in traction.
