According to the cause, fractures can be prevented. Fracture of an already diseased and cancerous bone is termed as 'pathological fracture'. Osteoporosis is common in females above fifty and in males over sixty. Such patients can be identified early by their complaints of bone pain. It is due to hormonal deficiency especially in female and treated with hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). Osteoporadic index is identified by X-rays.
This kind of patient should be warned to avoid walking on all uneven grounds and the slippery floors.
Road traffic accidents (RTA) can be prevented by making strict driving laws (traffic laws) and by avoiding reckless driving, overspeeding and overtaking. The bodies of the cars and the wind screens should be made of fibre glass. Use of seat belts must be made compulsory.
'Domestic trauma' is due to falling at home and includes 'pediatric trauma fracture'. Children should be kept under strict vigilance while playing and making mischief.
'Accident prone personalities' have more than usual accidents in their life. People with obsessional neurosis should be kept away from the fast moving machines of modern age. If an accident takes place such persons should be debarred from their profession for the rest of life and they should be given psychiatric guidance for their rehabilitation in their lives.
If the above precautions are kept in view, most of the fractures that take place due to our carelessness, can be prevented, loss of life, and limb can be saved.
