Popis: A fracture is defined as a disruption in the integrity of a bone. Most bones have the capacity to heal. However, healing of the fracture should not be perceived as only the union of the fractured bone, because when a trauma has the strength to break a bone, it inevitably damages adjacent tissues and joints. In most cases, even though the fracture may heal, the patient cannot go back to pre-fracture functional status if the adjacent tissues do not recover completely.
