Fracture Types We Treat
Fractures vary in type and severity. Our orthopedic specialists in Corpus Christi provide expert diagnosis and personalized treatment for a wide range of fracture conditions.
Stress Fractures
Stress fractures are tiny cracks caused by repetitive force, common in runners and athletes. They often occur in the feet, shins, and lower leg. Early diagnosis and rest are critical to prevent a complete break.
Displaced Fractures
In displaced fractures, the broken bone fragments shift out of alignment. These often require surgical intervention, such as plates, screws, or rods, to properly realign and stabilize the bone for healing.
Compression Fractures
Compression fractures occur when vertebrae in the spine collapse under pressure, often due to osteoporosis or trauma. They cause significant back pain and height loss. We offer both conservative care and minimally invasive treatment options.
Avulsion Fractures
An avulsion fracture happens when a tendon or ligament pulls away a fragment of bone at its attachment point. Common in the ankle, knee, and fingers, these injuries are often sports-related and require careful management to restore stability.

Hairline Fractures
Hairline fractures are partial cracks that don't fully break the bone but cause persistent pain and tenderness. Often missed on initial X-rays, they may require an MRI for accurate diagnosis. Rest and activity modification are key to recovery.
Open (Compound) Fractures
Open fractures involve a bone that pierces through the skin, creating a high risk of infection and requiring urgent surgical care. Our orthopedic team provides immediate stabilization, infection prevention, and reconstruction to optimize healing outcomes.
