Common Fracture Complications

1. Infection: Bacterial infections can occur in the wound or bone, leading to serious complications. 2. Delayed union or nonunion: Fractures that do not heal properly or take longer than expected to heal. 3. Malunion: Fractures that heal in an incorrect position, leading to deformity or limited mobility. 4. Nerve damage: Fractures can cause nerve damage, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness. 5. Blood vessel damage: Fractures can cause damage to blood vessels, leading to circulatory problems.

How to Minimize the Risk of Complications 1. Seek medical attention promptly: Early treatment can help prevent complications. 2. Follow post-operative instructions: Adhere to your surgeon's advice on wound care, medication, and follow-up appointments. 3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: A balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can help promote healing.
