Types of Fractures
Fractures can vary in severity and type. Some common types of fractures include:
- Simple fractures: These fractures occur when the broken pieces of bone are well aligned and stable.
- Unstable fractures: In these fractures, the fragments of the broken bone are misaligned and displaced, requiring immediate medical attention.
- Open (compound) fractures: Severe fractures in which the broken bones cut through the skin. These fractures are prone to infection and require immediate medical attention.
- Stress fractures (Common Fractures in Sports): Stress fractures are most commonly seen in athletes whose sports require repetitive movements such as marathon runners. Fractures are also common in contact sports such as basketball, rugby, and football. The most commonly fractured bones in contact sports are the hands, wrist, collarbone, ankle, feet, and the long bones of the lower extremities.
Treatment Options
At the Fracture Clinic, we offer various treatment options depending on the type and severity of your fracture. Our goal is to ensure optimal healing and restore functionality. Some of the treatment options we provide include:
This includes techniques such as casting and traction. Casting involves the use of splints or casts made of fiberglass or plaster of Paris to immobilize the fracture and promote healing. Traction is used for fractures and dislocations that cannot be treated with casting. It involves the application of weights to realign the bone.
In cases where non-operative methods are not sufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary. Procedures such as Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) involve the surgical realignment and fixation of the fractured bone with devices like screws, plates, or intramedullary nails. External fixation, another surgical option, uses metal or carbon fiber fixators to stabilize the fracture from outside the body.
Fractures may take several weeks to months to heal completely. Our team emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation to ensure a full recovery. Through a personalized rehabilitation program, we help you regain strength, mobility, and functionality. Our program includes exercises and gradually increasing activity levels to aid in the healing process.
At the Fracture Clinic, we are committed to helping you prevent future fractures. Our experts will provide you with valuable education on proper safety measures, bone health, and nutrition. We emphasize the importance of physical activity, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake to keep your bones strong and resilient.
