What is a Fracture?
A fracture is the breaking of a bone, typically caused by accidents, falls, or high-impact sports. There are different types of fractures, each requiring a specific approach:
- Simple fracture: A clean break where the bone does not puncture the skin.
- Acute fracture: A more severe fracture in which the bone protrudes through the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
- Comminuted fracture: The bone breaks into several pieces, often requiring surgical repair.
- Greenstick fracture: Common in children, where the bone bends and fractures but does not deform completely.
- Stress fracture: A minor fracture of the bone due to repetitive forces, commonly seen in athletes.
What Causes Fractures?
Various factors can lead to different types of fractures, each with its own set of risks:
- Trauma: Direct impact is the most common cause of fractures, especially in contact sports or accidents.
- Overuse: Repetitive movements during sports or activities can cause stress fractures, especially in load-bearing bones such as the feet and legs.
- Osteoporosis: This condition weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures, even minor injuries.
- Age: Our bones become more brittle as we age, increasing the risk of fractures from even simple falls.
- High-impact sports: Sports like football, rugby, and skiing are often associated with high-speed collisions that can lead to fractures.
How is a fracture treated?
- Fixation & Casting: For most fractures, immobilization with a cast or splint is necessary to heal the bone. Our team ensures the proper use and maintenance of this equipment to deliver high-quality treatment.
- Exercise: Post-exercise rehabilitation is essential to restore strength, flexibility, and function. Our customized physical therapy programs help patients regain full range of motion and prevent future injuries.
- Pain Management: Effective pain management is key to recovery. We offer a variety of pain management solutions, from medications to alternative therapies, tailored to your specific needs.
- Surgical Intervention: When the fracture is severe or involves multiple fragments, surgery may be required to realign and stabilize the bones. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to achieve the best possible results.
- Bone Health Assessment: Understanding and improving bone health is crucial for preventing future fractures. We offer bone density testing and nutritional advice to support your overall bone health.
