| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Damage to adjacent structures such as nerves, muscles or blood vessels, spinal cord, and nerve roots (for spine fractures), or cranial contents (for skull fractures) may cause other specific signs and symptoms. Also includes pain, disability, and deformity. If the fracture union is not achieved, the patient may suffer long-term disability. |
| Disease Description |
A bone fracture is a medical condition in which there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. In more severe cases, the bone may be broken into several pieces. A bone fracture may be the result of high force impact or stress, or a minimal trauma injury as a result of certain medical conditions that weaken the bones, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone cancer, or osteogenesis imperfecta, where the fracture is then properly termed a pathologic fracture. |

| Procedure of Use |
To cure fractures, crush 200 gram leaves of vine of "navali", add 100 millilitre water to the extract. About 250 millilitre of the concoction is drenched to big animals like cows and buffaloes. Two strips of bamboo (Bambusa bambos) are tied on the broken leg, so that the leg remains straight. Tie up the bandage after tying bamboo strips. One kilogram of popcorn (made from Indian maize, Zea mays) is fed to the animal daily. The "navali" concoction is drenched to the animal for four days and popcorn fed for eight days. The animal recovers from the fracture within 10 days. For the treatment of younger animals, 100 millilitre of "nagvel" solution and 250 gram popcorn is the medication. |
