When Is Fracture Management Needed?
Fracture management is necessary when a bone is broken due to an injury or trauma. Common fractures include:
- Arm and wrist fractures
- Leg and ankle fractures
- Collarbone fractures
- Hip and pelvic fractures
Treatment depends on the type, location, and severity of the fracture, with options ranging from conservative treatments like casting to surgical interventions for more complex fractures.
The Fracture Management Process: What to Expect
The first step in fracture management involves a thorough assessment through physical exams and imaging, such as X-rays, to understand the extent of the injury. Based on the diagnosis, treatment options include:
- Non-surgical Treatment: For simple fractures, a cast or splint may be used to immobilize the bone and allow natural healing.
- Surgical Intervention: In cases of severe or displaced fractures, surgery may be required to realign the bone using plates, screws, or rods to ensure proper healing.
Recovery and Rehabilitation After Fracture Management
Recovery time depends on the type and location of the fracture. After the initial treatment, rehabilitation through physical therapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and function. Our expert team works closely with patients to develop a tailored rehabilitation plan to ensure the best possible recovery outcome. Full recovery may take weeks to months, depending on the fracture’s complexity and the patient’s health.
