Clinical Information

  • A bruise is a mark on your skin caused by blood trapped under the surface. It happens when an injury crushes small blood vessels but does not break the skin. Those vessels break open and leak blood under the skin. Bruises are often painful and swollen. You can get skin, muscle and bone bruises. Bone bruises are the most serious.it can take months for a bruise to fade, but most last about two weeks. They start off a reddish color, and then turn bluish-purple and greenish-yellow before returning to normal. To reduce bruising, ice the injured area and elevate it above your heart. See your healthcare provider if you seem to bruise for no reason, or if the bruise appears to be infected.
  • A bruise; an injury of a part without a break in the skin.
  • A finding of injury of the soft tissues or bone characterized by leakage of blood into surrounding tissues.
  • A finding of traumatic injury to the bone in which the continuity of the bone is broken.
  • A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone. Symptoms of a fracture are
    • out-of-place or misshapen limb or joint
    • swelling, bruising or bleeding
    • intense pain
    • numbness and tingling
    • limited mobility or inability to move a limb
    you need to get medical care right away for any fracture. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.
  • A traumatic injury to the bone in which the continuity of the bone is broken.
  • Abraded wound; excoriation or circ*mscribed removal of the superficial layers of the skin or mucous membrane.
  • Breaks in bones.
  • Breaks or rupture in bones or cartilages.
  • Damage to the skin.
  • Injuries resulting in hemorrhage, usually manifested in the skin.
  • Injuries to blood vessels caused by laceration, contusion, puncture, or crush and other types of injuries. Symptoms vary by site and mode of injuries and may include bleeding, bruising, swelling, pain, and numbness. It does not include injuries secondary to pathologic function or diseases such as atherosclerosis.
  • Injury of the soft tissues or bone without breaking the skin, as by a blow.
  • Mechanical injury (usually caused by a blow) resulting in hemorrhage beneath unbroken skin; a bruise.
