Broken Bones (Fractures)

Broken Bones (Fractures)

Our Orthopedic Department specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of broken bones (fractures), offering expert care for both simple and complex cases. We treat fractures caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, and osteoporosis-related bone weakness.

We use advanced diagnostic imaging techniques and personalized treatment plans to ensure optimal healing and recovery. Our team treats a wide range of fractures, including closed fractures, open (compound) fractures, stress fractures, and comminuted fractures.

For minor fractures, we provide non-surgical treatments such as casting, splinting, and bracing to immobilize the bone and promote natural healing. Our orthopedic specialists monitor the healing process through regular follow-ups to ensure proper alignment and bone regeneration.

In complex or displaced fractures, we offer advanced surgical interventions, including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with plates, screws, and pins. For severe cases, we perform external fixation using rods and pins to stabilize the fracture during the healing process.

We prioritize pain management with targeted medication, localized injections, and nerve blocks to reduce discomfort during recovery. Our physiotherapy team develops customized rehabilitation programs to restore mobility, strengthen muscles, and prevent stiffness after bone healing.

Post-treatment care includes structured physical therapy exercises to enhance joint flexibility, improve strength, and reduce the risk of complications such as stiffness, muscle atrophy, or misalignment.

We offer specialized care for osteoporosis-related fractures, using medications and lifestyle modifications to strengthen bones and prevent future fractures. Our bone health management programs focus on calcium, vitamin D supplementation, and weight-bearing exercises.

Our multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists works together to provide comprehensive and compassionate care, ensuring that patients achieve full recovery and regain their quality of life.

We provide long-term follow-up care, monitoring bone density and recovery progress, and offering preventive measures to reduce the risk of recurrent fractures.

Our goal is to deliver expert orthopedic care that promotes faster healing, reduces complications, and helps patients return to their daily activities with improved mobility and strength.

Diagnostic Tests

X-ray

Used to detect and assess fractures by capturing detailed images of the bone structure.

CT Scan

Provides cross-sectional images of complex fractures, helping identify the extent of bone damage.

Bone Density Test

Assesses bone strength and identifies osteoporosis-related fractures.

Blood Tests

Checks for underlying conditions like osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency, which may contribute to fractures.

DEXA Scan

Measures bone mineral density to detect osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.

Precautions and Care Tips

• Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding immobilization, including wearing casts, splints, or braces as prescribed.
• Avoid putting weight or pressure on the fractured area until it has fully healed.
• Use walking aids (crutches or walkers) if recommended to prevent strain on the healing bone.
• Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of fracture healing.
• Perform gentle range-of-motion exercises under the guidance of a physiotherapist to prevent joint stiffness.
• Take prescribed medications, including pain relievers and bone-strengthening supplements, as directed.
• Maintain a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to promote bone healing and strengthen bone density.
• Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as they can hinder the bone-healing process.
• Use proper protective gear during physical activities to reduce the risk of fractures.
• Follow a gradual return-to-activity plan to prevent re-injury after fracture healing.

• Accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment plans for optimal fracture healing.
• Faster recovery with minimally invasive surgical techniques when necessary.
• Reduced pain and discomfort with effective pain management strategies.
• Improved mobility and joint flexibility through structured rehabilitation programs.
• Lower risk of long-term complications such as stiffness or misalignment.
• Enhanced bone strength through osteoporosis management and preventive care.
