Disaster Management in Fisheries

 Introduction

A fracture is a complete or partial breakage of a bone. Fractures may be:

• Simple, where the broken ends of the bone do not cut open the skin
• Compound, where the broken end of the bone may be in contact with the external air
• Complicated, where in addition to the fracture an important internal organ may also be injured. A complicated fracture may also be simple or compound.
