Fractures, or broken bones, occur when a bone changes shape due to high force or impact, causing pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, and deformity. In the US, three million fractures occur annually, often due to trauma or pathologic diseases.
We treat all types of fractures. Some of the most common treatments for fractures include:
We use casts to hold a broken bone in place so it can heal. Casts immobilize the joint above and the joint below the fracture that needs to heal.
We use functional casts or braces to heal fractures while allowing controlled movement of the nearby joints.
Traction straightens broken bones by pulling very gently and slowly on them.
External fixation refers to the practice of placing screws or metal pins above and below the fracture on the outside of the body to stabilize the bone while it heals.
Open reduction internal fixation is a surgical operation that involves placing orthopedic implants to guide the healing process of the broken bone on the inside of the body.
