Understanding Fractures & Dislocations
- Fracture: A break in the bone caused by trauma, overuse, or medical conditions like osteoporosis.
- Dislocation: A joint injury where the bones are forced out of their normal position.
Both conditions require prompt medical attention to prevent complications and ensure proper healing.
Causes of Fractures & Dislocations
Several factors can lead to bone fractures and joint dislocations, including:
- Accidents & Trauma: Falls, sports injuries, and road accidents.
- Osteoporosis & Weak Bones: Age-related bone degeneration increases fracture risk.
- Repetitive Stress & Overuse: Common in athletes and individuals with physically demanding jobs.
- High-Impact Activities: Sudden force or pressure on bones and joints.
Common Symptoms
If you suspect a fracture or dislocation, look out for these symptoms:
- Intense pain at the injury site.
- Swelling, bruising, and redness.
- Visible deformity or abnormal position of the limb or joint.
- Inability to move or use the affected area.
- Numbness or tingling sensation.
Treatment Options
At The Fracture & Orthopaedic Clinic, we provide comprehensive treatment solutions based on the severity and location of the injury.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Conservative treatment options to manage pain, support healing, and restore function include:
- Casting & Splinting: To stabilize the bone and promote natural healing.
- Closed Reduction: A manual technique to realign a dislocated joint or minor fracture.
- Pain Management: Medications and anti-inflammatory treatments to reduce pain and swelling.
- Physical Therapy: Helps regain strength, mobility, and function after healing.
Surgical Procedures
When necessary, surgical interventions provide long-term relief and ensure proper bone and joint alignment. Common procedures include:
- Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF): Using plates, screws, or rods to secure broken bones.
- External Fixation: Stabilizing severe fractures using an external frame.
- Joint Realignment Surgery: To restore normal joint positioning in complex dislocations.
