- A fracture is a crack or a break in a bone
- Fractures are often caused by injury or overuse.
- The fractured area is usually swollen, and may be infected, distorted, angled, or out of position
- Orthopaedist in chinthal can diagnose fractures based on symptoms, mode of injury, and clinical examination results, but x-rays are usually needed
- Most fractures heal well and cause few problems, but the time it takes to heal varies, depending on many factors, such as the patient’s age, the type and severity of the injury, and the presence of other disorders
- Trauma & fracture treatment depends on the type and severity of the fractures and may include pain relievers, ice compression, procedures to put the damaged parts back into their normal position (reduction), immobilization of the injured part (for example, with a cast or splint), and sometimes surgery
