    Case Presentation (Ortho Ward) :: Pathophysiology of Fracture

    Uploaded by

    Abigail Brillantes
    A 60-year-old male presented with fractures of both the right and left lower legs due to a vehicular accident while intoxicated. Specifically, he had a complete, spiral, displaced fracture of the right tibia and fibula involving the middle third of the right femur. He also had a complete, comminuted fracture of the left tibia with a displaced fracture of the left fibula that was open. The pathophysiology of the fractures involved disruption of bone and surrounding tissues, bleeding, hematoma formation, inflammatory response, and bone remodeling processes to heal the fractures.

    Pathophysiology of Fracture
    By: Group A
    Presented by: Abigail L. Brillantes
    Modifiable Factor: Vehicular accident Non-Modifiable factor:
    -Driving while Age = 60
    “slightly” alcohol- Stress placed on bone exceeds the Sex= Male
    intoxicated bone ability to absorb it
    Injury to left tibia and fibula
    Injury to right tibia and Specifically:
    fibula involving right femur Break in the continuity of the bone Complete, comminuted, fracture of left
    Specifically: tibia. Displaced fracture of left Fibula –
    Open fracture
    complete, spiral, displaced fracture of Disruption of periosteum & blood vessels in
    right tibia and fibula involving the
    the cortex, marrow & surrounding tissue Break in the skin
    middle third right femur – closed
    fracture
    Bleeding occurs from damaged ends of the bone Mechanical Instability
    Bone tissue immediately
    Hematoma forms within medullary canal Pain with Motion
    adjacent to the fracture dies Point tenderness
    Inability to bear weight
    Dead tissue stimulates Exudation of growth Decalcify the
    inflammatory response factors & mast cells fracture bone ends
    Tissue swelling at the site
    Bone forming cells in periosteum and High Blood Flow to Vascular tissue invades injury (seen on x-ray)
    endosteum and marrow are activated the entire bones the fracture area
    Restricted function of
    Legends: the right and left leg
