| 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 |
For correcting the fracture, 200 g goat hair and 50 g turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder are mixed together, slowly adding water to prepare the paste which is then smeared around the fractured part . The leg is then bound tightly with bamboo (Bambusa bambos) strips and a cloth piece. This cures the leg within few days and the animal resumes its activities. |
