Dislokationsfraktur

Dislokationsfraktur, also known as a displaced fracture, is a type of bone fracture where the broken ends of the bone are misaligned. This misalignment can occur due to the force of the injury, causing the bone to shift out of its normal position. Dislokationsfrakturen are common in long bones, such as the femur, humerus, or tibia, and can also occur in the pelvis or shoulder.

The diagnosis of a dislokationsfraktur typically involves a physical examination and imaging studies, such as X-rays or CT scans. The treatment options depend on the severity of the injury and the patient's overall health. In some cases, conservative treatment with rest, immobilization, and pain management may be sufficient. However, in more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to realign the bone and promote healing.

Dislokationsfrakturen can cause significant pain, swelling, and functional impairment, and may require long-term rehabilitation to restore mobility and strength. Prevention strategies include maintaining good physical fitness, wearing appropriate protective gear during activities that carry a risk of injury, and practicing proper technique during sports and other physical activities.
