Complex & Simple Fracture
Fracture treatment focuses on the accurate repair and stabilization of broken bones to restore normal structure and function. Whether simple or complex, timely surgical or non-surgical intervention ensures proper healing, prevents deformity, and promotes early mobility and recovery.
Treatments
- Closed Reduction & Casting – Non-surgical realignment and immobilization of simple fractures using plaster or braces.
- Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF) – Surgical fixation using plates, screws, or rods for accurate alignment in complex fractures.
- External Fixation – A temporary stabilization technique for severe, open, or multiple fractures to promote early healing.
- Minimally Invasive Fixation – Advanced keyhole surgical approach for faster recovery and minimal tissue damage.
Symptoms & Causes
Symptoms:
- Severe pain and swelling at the injury site
- Visible deformity or abnormal limb position
- Inability to move the affected area or bear weight
- Bruising or open wounds in case of compound fractures
Causes:
- Accidental falls or road traffic accidents
- Sports injuries or sudden impact trauma
- Osteoporosis or weakened bones in elderly individuals
- High-impact injuries or industrial accidents causing multiple fractures
Prevention
- Maintain bone strength with calcium and vitamin D-rich diet
- Exercise regularly to improve bone density and balance
- Use safety gear during sports and high-risk activities
- Prevent falls by ensuring proper lighting and safe home environments
