Don't Let Untreated Fractures Lead to Serious Health Consequences
Neglecting prompt care of a fracture can lead to serious and long-term health issues. It can cause further injury, lead to complications such as infection and improper bone healing, and result in chronic pain or long-term joint problems.

Timely treatment of fractures for effective healing
Immediate medical attention not only helps in pain management but also ensures the fracture heals correctly and quickly, preventing future complications. Book AppointmentPrevention of Further Injury
Untreated fractures can lead to additional injuries. The bones may shift, causing damage to surrounding tissues, muscles, and nerves.
Avoiding Complications
Delaying treatment can lead to complications such as infection, especially in open fractures where the bone pierces the skin. There's also a risk of developing blood clots or fat embolism (fat globules released into the bloodstream) which can be life-threatening.
Ensuring Proper Healing
Prompt care ensures that the bone heals correctly. If a fracture is not properly aligned and immobilized, it can heal in an incorrect position, leading to long-term functional impairments and possibly requiring surgical correction.

Tibial Plateau (Knee) Fracture
A tibial plateau fracture is a type of injury to the knee. It involves a break in the top part of the tibia (shinbone), where it meets the knee joint. The tibial plateau is critical for weight-bearing and knee joint stability, making these fractures potentially serious.
Bimalleolar (Ankle) Fracture
A bimalleolar fracture is a specific type of ankle fracture that involves breaks in two of the three bones that form the ankle joint: the tibia (shinbone) and the fibula (the smaller bone of the lower leg).
Lateral Malleolus (Ankle) Fracture
A lateral malleolus fracture refers to a break in the fibula, one of the two bones of the lower leg, at the ankle level. The lateral malleolus is the bony bump on the outer side of the ankle.
LisFranc complex (Foot) Fracture
A Lisfranc fracture involves the bones and ligaments that form the Lisfranc joint complex, located in the midfoot, where the long bones of the foot (metatarsals) connect to the bones in the arch (the tarsal bones). This complex is crucial for stability and walking.
5th Metatarsal (Foot) Fracture
A 5th metatarsal fracture is a type of foot injury involving the fifth metatarsal bone located on the foot's outer side. This bone runs from the midfoot to the small toe. Fractures of the 5th metatarsal are common and can vary in type and severity.
4th & 5th Metacarpals (Hand) Fracture
Fractures of the 4th and 5th metacarpals in the hand involve the long bones within the palm that connect to the ring and little fingers, respectively. These types of fractures are common hand injuries, often resulting from direct trauma or punching an object (aka boxers's fracture).

Commonly Asked Questions about Fracture Care
What are the signs that I might have a fracture?
Common signs of a fracture include intense pain at the injury site, swelling, bruising, or visible deformity. If the injury involves a limb, you might experience difficulty using it or bearing weight.
How do you determine the best treatment for a fracture?
The treatment plan is based on the type, location, and severity of the fracture. We use imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans for diagnosis. Treatment options range from casting and splinting for simple fractures to surgical intervention for more complex or displaced fractures.
What's the typical recovery time for a bone fracture?
Recovery time varies depending on the fracture's severity and the patient's overall health. Generally, it takes 6-8 weeks for a bone to heal, but this can be longer for more severe fractures or those involving joints.
