how it happens

I think swelling occurs,because the veins near that bone breaks and the blood starts flowing in our body.

Abhishek told us clearly about this as i guessed.Sweeling occurs between the tissues.

Sasinakth, you have explained well and yes Vinodh is right, you have given a proper example.

what is tissue? abhishek, can you explain this term?

Being a medical student I think I could explain this to you in a better way. Just understand a thing clearly.If our body is attacked by any foreign antigen our immunity produces inflammation. Inflammation has 5 components.
1. Pain 2.Swelling 3.Erythema (Redness) 4.Hardening 5.Fever.
Fever is not due to infection persay. It is our body's response to the infection.
When there is a fracture the blood vessels around it especially arteries and also veins are damaged. So there is oozing of blood which clots at the site of fracture which we call haematoma. This is responsible for swelling.Nature's gift is that haematoma is the only thing responsible for fracture healing also.

Yes arun had clearly explained about this.This cleared many members doubt here.

arun kumar you have explained in bioterminology. are you a doctor or house surgen?

He is just a student i think if he is a doctor or surgeon means he dont need to work here.

Even a person is doctor or any other profession if they visit this site they love to work over here.

sarala if he is a doctor he wont get time to stay here.

Sasikanth , even doctors also working here. But we didnt notice them yet

Thank you Sarala.
You are bringing up some of the good questions which are buried in the past.

Let some more good ones re- arise

You know when a injury takes place the tissues of the skin are torn that cause swelling and pain. Same is the case with broken bones, damaged tissues make the difference.
