Understanding Fractures
A fracture is a break in the bone that can result from trauma, overuse, or underlying conditions like osteoporosis. Fractures vary in severity and type, including:
- Simple (Closed) Fractures: The bone breaks but does not pierce the skin.
- Compound (Open) Fractures: The bone breaks and pierces the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
- Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bone often caused by repetitive stress or overuse.
- Comminuted Fractures: The bone shatters into multiple pieces.
- Greenstick Fractures: Incomplete fractures where the bone bends and cracks, common in children.

Our Approach to Fracture Management
At Sun Orthopaedics, we employ a comprehensive approach to fracture management, tailored to each patient’s needs:
-
Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on the diagnosis, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Non-surgical Treatments: Casts, splints, and braces to immobilize the fracture and allow natural healing.
- Surgical Treatments: Procedures like internal fixation (using metal plates, screws, or rods) or external fixation (using a stabilizing frame outside the body) to align and stabilize the bone.
-
Pain Management: Effective pain relief strategies, including medications and nerve blocks, to ensure patient comfort throughout the healing process.
-
Rehabilitation: Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs designed to restore strength, flexibility, and function to the affected area, facilitating a smooth recovery.
