A fracture is an interruption of bone continuity, which most often occurs with intense and short external loads. Bone fractures are caused by an external force that is greater than their strength and usually occur due to strong stresses. Fractures are divided into open and closed, and in the area of the fracture there is swelling, bruising, redness or deformity of the extremities. The most common fractures that occur are fractures of the wrist, foot and hand, while fractures of long bones such as the bones of the arms and legs are caused by a stronger force, eg in traffic accidents. The first step in caring for a fracture is to assess the severity and type of the fracture, bring the limb to a condition acceptable for immobilization, perform immobilization, and prepare the patient for transport to the hospital for further treatment. It is very important to know the symptoms and signs of a fracture in order to intervene as quickly as possible, because the faster the first aid is provided, the better the chances for better health care for the patient and the injured part of the body. Nurses / technicians "in the field" have a big role in the treatment, who first take care of the patient at the scene of the accident and transport him to the hospital, as well as those "in the hospital" who follow the patient from admission to his final rehabilitation.
