What is a Fracture?

Fracture is a break the bone of the body. It may be simple or complicated

otherwise called compound

Differences between simple and compound fractures

In a simple fracture, a bone is only broken while in a compound fracture, a broken

bone pierces (cuts) the skin or tissue.

Types of fracture

1. Greenstick fracture
2. Simple fracture
3. Compound\complicated fracture
4. Comminuted fracture
5. Multiple fracture
6. Impacted fracture
7. Depressed fracture

Greenstick fracture

This is the type of fracture which occurs in children. It is an incomplete break in

which a side is intact and no tissue is damaged.

2. Simple fracture

This is the type of fracture where the bone breaks without touching the tissue or
skin

3. Compound or complicated fracture

It is cut into the surrounding tissue thereby damaging the blood vessels or organs
adjacent to the site of the fråcture.

4. Comminuted fracture

This is a type of fracture where the bone is shattered into pieces e. g. crushing by a
vehicle.

5 Multiple fractures
This is a type of fracture in which the bone is broken at several points.

6. Impacted fracture

This is a type of fracture where the broken ends are driven into one another.

7. Depressed fracture

This type of fracture occurs in the skull when it is hit by an object like hammer.

Signs and symptoms of fracture

1. Pains
2. Deformity
3. Abnormal mobility
4. Loss of mobility (cannot move)
5. Crepitus (sound of bones)
6. Bone tenderness
7. Discoloration of the skin
8. Bleeding

Bleeding or Haemorrhage

What is heamorrhage?

Bleeding or haemorrhage is the escape of blood from a crushed or ruptured blood

vessels. The rupture may be due to accident, injury or disease.

It may be internal, external or both. If external, the blood is seen on the skin, If
internal, there is swelling around the site.

Causes of haemorrhage

1. Direct injury or cutting of the blood vessel

2. Infection of the blood vessels
3. Blood disease
4. High blood pressure

Forms of Bleeding or Haemorrhage

There are three forms of bleeding

 1. Arterial bleeding
2. Venous bleeding
3. Capillary bleeding

1. Arterial bleeding

Arterial bleeding is the most serious form of bleeding because blood spurts out
with the rhythm of the heartbeat. It is as a result of a cut or rupture of an artery.
The blood is pure red and comes out in jerks corresponding with the heartbeat.

2. Venous bleeding

Venous bleeding is as a result of the rupture of the vein. Another name for venous
bleeding is varicose bleeding. The blood has pale colour because it lacks oxygen.
The flow is steady

3. Capillary bleeding

Capillary bleeding is the least serious of all forms of bleeding. The blood oozes out
and it can be easily controlled. It is due to a cut of the capillaries.

Classification of Bleeding

Bleeding may be classified into three

1. Primary bleeding
2. Reactionary bleeding
3. Secondary bleeding

Primary bleeding

Primary bleeding occurs immediately an injury is sustained when the blood vessel
is ruptured. It is an instantaneous bleeding that coexists with an injury.

Reactionary bleeding

Reactionary bleeding is the re-commencement of bleeding several hours after an

injury has occurred. This may be as a result of some reactions in the body such as
the body's reaction to drug or the return of the blood pressure to normal.

Secondary bleeding
Secondary bleeding occurs several days after (seven to ten days) or more after the
injury has been sustained. This may be as a result of infection.

Types of Bleeding

The different forms of bleeding can be grouped into two

1. External bleeding
2. Internal bleeding

Burns and Scalds

Burns

Burn is an injury caused by fire or by dry and hot objects such as pressing iron,
naked flame, hot charcoal etc.

wax etc. Serious burns and scalds can cause shock and general weakness of the bod

Causes of scald

1. Boiling water
2. Boiling oil
3. Steam
4. Boiling liquids e.g tea, stew

Degree of burns
Burns are classified as first, second, and third degree.

First degree burns

The skin is reddened and affects only the surface

Second degree burns

It is deeper and the skin is blistered.

Third degree burns

The inner tissues are affected. It can lead to loss of body fluid which can result to
shock.

Muscle Cramp

Muscle cramp is a sudden contraction of the muscle fibres that appears to be

independent of their nerve supply.

Causes

1. Accumulation of metabolism by-products

2. Increase in the acidity of the tissue fluids
3. Low temperature/extreme cold
4. Inadequate supply of local blood
5. Loss of water and salts through sweating due to prolonged exercise in hot
weather

the brain. The victim experiences a blackout, becomes unconscious and falls down
if sitting or standing.

Causes

1. A hit on the head (getting knocked out)

2. Stroke
3. Shock
4. Poison
5. Drunkenness

The All African Games

All independent African countries are free to participate in the quadrennial game
(every four years). The motive behind the games is to promote unity among the
nations. Several attempt to organise the all African games were frustrated until
1962 when a conference of African Ministers of youth and sports was held in Paris
France. At the conference the games that was bind all Africans in unity was born
and to be called all African games.
All African countries except South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) were
invited to the first All African games which were scheduled to take place at the
omnisports stadium in Brazzaville. Over 3,000 athletes from 30 independent
African countries paticipated. Avery Brundage the president of the International
Olympic Committee at that time was present at the opening ceremony to
demonstrate the support of the I.O.C for the games. The first edition of the game
was held on July 14th 1965 in Congo Brazzaville.

These countries include -Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, Gambia. Sierra Leone etc. It is on
recold that Egypt was the first country to win the games. The controlling body of
the garne is the supreme council for sports in Africa (SCSA) was formed in
Bamako Mali in 1966. The second edition of the game could not be held in Mali
due to the coup detat in the country. So the second edition was held in Lagos
Nigeria between 7th to 18th January 1973. Again Egypt came first and Nigeria was
second on the model table. The third edition was held in Algiers, capital of Algeria
in 1978.

The fourth edition was held in Nairobi Kenya and since then the game had been
quadrennial every four years like the Olympic. The controlling body is the supreme
council for sports in African (SCSA) since Africa is made up of both English and
Francophone countries. The organizing committee is called committee de
organgseur jeus Africanine (COJA)
