Fracture Management

Fractures occur when bones break due to trauma and vary widely in location, severity, and complexity. Improper or delayed treatment can result in deformity, chronic pain, and long-term disability.

Types of Fractures Treated

• Simple (non-displaced) fractures
• Displaced fractures
• Comminuted fractures (multiple fragments)
• Stress and insufficiency fractures
• Closed and open fractures

Fracture Assessment

• Examination for pain, swelling, deformity, and skin condition
• Evaluation of nearby joints, nerves, and blood vessels
• Imaging to understand fracture pattern and stability
• Identification of associated soft tissue injury

Treatment Approach

• Immediate stabilization to prevent further damage
• Accurate bone realignment to restore normal anatomy
• Conservative management with casting or splinting when appropriate
• Surgical fixation when alignment, joint surface, or stability is compromised

Follow-Up and Recovery

• Regular monitoring of bone healing
• Guidance on weight-bearing and activity restrictions
• Pain and swelling management
• Prevention of delayed union, malunion, or non-union

The ultimate goal is strong bone healing with full restoration of movement and function.
