FRACTURE CARE

Fracture care is the treatment of broken bones to restore them to a healthy state and proper alignment. Different treatment options are used to treat broken bones. One form of treatment may be casting or splinting to keep the broken ends in proper position while they heal. Another form of treatment for fractures is open reduction, internal fixation and/or external fixation. These types of treatment require the orthopedist to surgically repair the injured area.
