When a person falls and a fracture is suspected, it is crucial to keep them on the ground and avoid rushing them to stand, as unnecessary movement can worsen the injury.

Gently keep the injured limb supported in its current position and refrain from applying pressure or attempting to realign it.

If the pain is severe or the person cannot move safely, call a medical professional immediately and ensure they are evaluated by an orthopaedic specialist as soon as possible to prevent further complications.

A bone crack and a broken bone may sound different, but medically both refer to a fracture — a disruption in the bone’s continuity. The difference lies in severity: a crack is a hairline or partial fracture where the bone remains aligned, while a broken bone involves a complete separation or displacement of bone fragments. Both conditions require proper diagnosis and treatment to ensure complete healing and prevent long-term complications.
