title: [Important acute measures after fractures. Rapid and adequate treatment of pain].
abstract: Pain caused by bone fractures needs to be treated promptly and adequately to avoid negative secondary effects. Pain therapy and the healing of soft tissue are goals that are equally as important as healing of the fracture. The following factors have analgesic potential: reduction, immobilization, cooling measures, limb elevation and fasciotomy. Symptomatic treatment of pain is orientated to the WHO stepped approach, which attaches particular importance to the regular administration of analgesics, as dictated by clinical effectiveness.
