Our comprehensive fracture management services address your unique needs through personalized treatment plans, continuous support, and advanced care techniques.


Understanding Fractures

A fracture is a break in the bone that occurs due to trauma, overuse, or medical conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis. Fractures can vary in severity, ranging from hairline cracks to complex breaks that may require surgical intervention. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility. Immediate and proper care is crucial to ensure the bone heals correctly and to prevent complications such as improper alignment or chronic pain.

Our Approach to Fracture Care

At Renew Health Center: Your Local Primary Care we take a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to fracture management. Our experienced healthcare team works with you to create a treatment plan tailored to the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health, promoting optimal healing and preventing future complications.

Thorough Evaluation and Diagnosis

We begin with a detailed examination, including imaging tests like X-rays or, if necessary, advanced scans (MRI or CT), to accurately diagnose the type and extent of the fracture. Understanding your medical history and lifestyle helps us design the most effective treatment plan.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Based on the evaluation, we develop a treatment strategy tailored to your needs. Simple fractures may require immobilization through casts or splints, while more complex injuries might need additional interventions like braces or, in severe cases, surgical referral.

Pain Management and Mobility Support

Our team provides guidance on managing pain with medications or non-invasive therapies, ensuring that you remain as comfortable as possible. We also offer advice on how to safely move during recovery to avoid re-injury and promote healing.

Ongoing Monitoring and Rehabilitation

Follow-up visits are essential to track your progress and ensure the bone is healing correctly. If needed, we adjust your treatment plan and provide physical therapy referrals to help restore strength, flexibility, and function.

5. Education and Prevention Strategies

We empower you with education on preventing future fractures, including recommendations for fall prevention, diet improvements, and exercises that enhance bone density. If you are at risk of osteoporosis, we also offer bone health assessments and guidance on long-term prevention.

FAQ's

You Can Find All Answers Here

There are several types of fractures, including:

  • Simple (closed) fracture: The bone breaks but doesn’t penetrate the skin.
  • Compound (open) fracture: The bone breaks through the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
  • Greenstick fracture: An incomplete fracture where the bone bends, common in children.
  • Comminuted fracture: The bone breaks into multiple pieces.
  • Stress fracture: A small crack in the bone caused by repetitive stress or overuse.

Each type requires a different approach to treatment based on severity and location.

Both fractures and sprains can cause pain, swelling, and bruising, making them easy to confuse. However:

  • Fracture: Often results in severe pain, difficulty moving the affected area, and possible deformity.
  • Sprain: Involves ligament damage and may allow some movement, though it may still be painful.

An X-ray is often required to confirm if a bone is fractured. It’s important to seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis.

The healing time depends on the type and severity of the fracture, as well as the patient’s age and overall health.

  • Minor fractures: 4-6 weeks to heal with immobilization (e.g., a cast or splint).
  • Severe fractures: May take several months to heal and could require surgery or physical therapy for full recovery.
    Children's fractures tend to heal faster than adults, while older adults may experience slower healing.

If you suspect a fracture, follow these steps:

  1. Immobilize the area: Use a splint or brace to keep the affected area from moving.
  2. Apply ice: Reduce swelling with a cold pack wrapped in a cloth.
  3. Elevate the limb: Keep the injured area raised to reduce swelling.
  4. Seek medical care: Visit a healthcare provider for evaluation and an X-ray to confirm the fracture.

Do not attempt to realign the bone yourself, as this could worsen the injury.

Some minor fractures, like certain toe fractures, may heal on their own with rest and minimal intervention. However, most fractures require medical attention to ensure proper alignment and healing. Without treatment, bones can heal improperly, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and complications like malunion (improper healing). It’s important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate care.
