Expert Limb Fracture Surgery & Treatment

Bone fractures can result from falls, car accidents, sports injuries, direct trauma, and medical conditions like osteoporosis that weaken the bones.

Fractures can be classified as closed (simple) fractures, open (compound) fractures, stress fractures, displaced fractures, and comminuted fractures. Each type requires a specific treatment approach.

Common symptoms of fractures include severe pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, inability to move the affected area, and sometimes visible bone protrusion in open fractures.

If you suspect a fracture, immobilize the injured area, avoid moving it, and seek immediate medical attention. Applying ice can help reduce swelling, but professional diagnosis and treatment are essential.

Fracture treatment depends on the severity and location of the break. Options include casting, splinting, traction, internal fixation with plates and screws, and external fixation for more complex cases.

Healing time varies based on age, overall health, fracture type, and location. On average, minor fractures take 6-8 weeks, while complex fractures may require several months to fully recover.

Yes, many fractures heal with non-surgical treatments like casting, splinting, and bracing. However, severe or misaligned fractures may require surgical intervention to ensure proper healing.

Untreated fractures can lead to chronic pain, improper bone healing, deformities, infections (in open fractures), and long-term mobility issues. Seeking timely medical care is crucial.

To promote faster healing, follow your doctor’s instructions, maintain a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, avoid smoking, and engage in recommended rehabilitation exercises.
