Due to traumatic causes like sports injuries, accidents and falls etc.

Break in the continuity of bone

Disruption and penetration of the bone through the soft tissues

1
Bleeding into the surrounding tissues

2
Compression of blood vessels and nerves

As a result of bone fracture

1 Bleeding into the surrounding tissues

Collection of the blood into the tissues

Leads to hematoma, swelling and edema

Compression of blood vessels and nerves

As a result of compression of blood veesels

As a result of compreesion of nerves Increased contraction of muscles

Decreased blood supply to tissues

Necrosis of the tissues

Leads to muscle spasm and pain

Leads to gangrene and cyanosis
