When a bone is subjected to severe or excessive force, a traumatic fracture develops. Examples include fractures brought on by violent overextension, such as a twisting injury that could break an ankle, and those brought on by impacts from falls or car accidents. Fractures caused by trauma can be displaced or nondisplaced. Any fracture in which two or more shattered bone fragments are not properly aligned is referred to as a displaced fracture. Comminuted fractures, in which the bone breaks into several pieces, and/or open fractures, also known as compound fractures, in which the fracture is coupled with an open skin wound, are examples of severe cases. A doctor must fix displaced fractures by either a closed reduction or an open reduction. A closed reduction avoids surgery by manually moving the bone back into position. In an open reduction, incisions are made and the bone is realigned using medical equipment. After that, the afflicted bone is typically secured in place with the use of pins, screws, wires, or other devices.
