Question
How should fractures of the femur, radius, and iliac bone be treated?
Answer
The fracture of the middle part of the femur with overlapping ends, a cortical crack at the distal end of the left radius without significant displacement or angulation, and swelling of the surrounding soft tissues. The edge of the left iliac wing is uneven. A fixation splint has been applied. Fractures of the femoral head are often caused by compressive, shear, or impact forces. Treatment options include conservative therapy and surgical intervention, such as early internal fixation, bone grafting, or arthroplasty. For pediatric fractures, active treatment should be accompanied by attention to daily care, including a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and calcium to reduce the risk of complications.
