Fractures, or broken bones, occur due to trauma, falls, accidents, or medical conditions that weaken bones. Proper treatment is essential to relieve pain, restore function, and prevent complications. Management depends on fracture type, location, severity, and the patient’s overall health.

🛡️ Non-Surgical (Conservative) Treatment

Used for simple or stable fractures that do not require surgery.

• Immobilization – Using casts, splints, or braces to hold the bone in place.
• Traction – Gentle pulling to align bones properly.
• Pain Control – Medications to reduce discomfort.
• Physiotherapy – Gradual exercises to restore mobility and strength.

🔧 Surgical (Operative) Treatment

Required for complex, displaced, or open fractures.

• Internal Fixation – Plates, screws, or rods to stabilize the bone internally.
• External Fixation – External frame to maintain proper alignment.
• Bone Grafting – Replacing or supporting bone in severe injuries.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery – Smaller incisions for faster recovery.

📝 Steps in Fracture Management

• Assessment – Evaluate type, location, and severity.
• Pain Management – Provide analgesics or anesthesia if needed.
• Reduction – Aligning bones manually (closed) or surgically (open).
• Immobilization – Casts, splints, or surgical fixation.
• Rehabilitation – Physiotherapy to regain function.
• Follow-Up – X-rays and clinical checks to monitor healing.
