Doctors
What is fracture treatment?
Fracture treatment is the medical management of a broken bone. Depending on the type and severity, treatment may include a cast, splint, immobilization, or surgery.
When should I go to the hospital for a fracture?
You should visit the hospital immediately if you have severe pain, swelling, deformity, bleeding, inability to move the limb, or if the injury happened after a fall, accident, or trauma.
Can all fractures heal without surgery?
No. Some simple fractures can heal with casting or immobilization, but complex, displaced, or unstable fractures may require surgical fixation with plates, screws, or nails.
How long does a fracture take to heal?
Most fractures take around 6 to 12 weeks to heal, depending on the bone involved, the severity of the injury, age, and overall health of the patient.
Do you provide emergency fracture care at Inova Hospital?
Yes. Inova Hospital provides orthopedic evaluation and treatment for fracture and trauma cases, including emergency care, immobilization, surgery, and follow-up management.
What are the signs of a fracture?
Common signs include severe pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, tenderness, and difficulty moving or bearing weight on the affected area.
What happens if a fracture is not treated on time?
Delayed treatment can lead to improper healing, deformity, chronic pain, reduced function, and long-term complications.
