FRACTURES

The word "fracture" means a break in a bone. There are two kinds of fractures: closed and open.

In a closed fracture there is no wound on the skin.

In an open fracture there is a wound. Open fractures are more serious than closed ones. If a person breaks his arm or leg, he complains of pain in the place of the break, the pain becomes more severe if' he presses the place or tries to move.

Swelling appears quickly. Do not let the person move. Use a splint for the broken limb. Bind the splint to the limb but not at the place of the fracture.

Doctors use X-rays to see the break and put plaster casts on the broken limbs.

Say it in English / Скажите по-английски:

открытый перелом; закрытый перелом; место перелома; ь становится сильнее; пытаться двигаться, опухоль появ­ится; не позволяйте кому-либо двигаться; сделать рентген; накладывать гипс
