Summary Introduction

To review:

The four phases of the fracture repair.

Introduction:

The fractures occur due to the unwanted trauma which is responsible for twists and breakage of the bones. Fractures are of two types: the closed fracture and the open fracture. The closed fractures are those in which the broken bones do not penetrate inside the surface of the skin. The open fractures are those in which the broken parts of the bones deeply penetrate inside the skin cells.
