About this condition
A fracture is a break in a bone, usually caused by injury. Symptoms include pain, swelling, deformity, and difficulty using the affected limb. An X-ray is used to confirm the fracture and plan treatment. Some fractures are treated with a cast or splint; others need surgery to hold the bone in place while it heals.
