Complex Trauma
This information is for people who have multiple fractures, their families and carers. Complex fracture is complicated breaks in bones that generally need care by a specialist team. They include open fractures, pelvic fractures (breaks in the strong bony ring connecting the base of the spine to the hips) and severe ankle fractures. The advice about how open fractures, pelvic fractures, and severe ankle fractures should be managed. It does not cover every type of multipart fracture in detail. Also, it does not coat non-complex fractures, skull fractures, hip fractures, and spinal injuries. For information about the guidance, we have produced in these areas.
Complex fractures
Complex fractures mean breaks are more severe than a simple broken bone.
Fractures are considered to be complex when :
- A bone or bones are broken into pieces, or more than one fracture occurs to a bone Surrounding soft tissue is severely damaged.
- Bone is lost.
- There is severe cartilage injury at a joint.
- Joint dislocation has also occurred.
Broken Bone Treatment Options
The complex nature of composite fractures means treatment options are mixed and can include a range of internal and external fascination devices. Open multipart fractures require an internal obsession with surgery. In internal obsession involves using pins, plates, and screws, which are directly attached to the bone. inner fixation techniques are more advantageous compared to the external method because the bones can heal on a shorter period of time. For cases in which the fragmented bones cannot be saved with the use of tools, another emergency option is bone implantation. Here, a healthy bone is taken from one more part of the body and will be used to alternate the injured bones. medicinal from complex fractures usually take more than 12 weeks.
