A fracture is a break or crack in a bone that can occur due to falls, road traffic accidents, sports injuries, or weakened bones caused by osteoporosis. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to ensure proper healing, restore function, and prevent long-term complications.
Dr. Pranav Shah provides comprehensive fracture care for adults with a focus on accurate diagnosis, effective pain management, and optimal bone healing. Every patient undergoes a detailed clinical evaluation along with appropriate imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans when required to determine the type and severity of the fracture.
Depending on the nature of the injury, treatment may include splinting, casting, bracing, or surgical fixation using advanced techniques. Following treatment, personalized rehabilitation and regular follow-up help restore strength, mobility, and enable patients to safely return to their daily activities.
Fracture treatment is available for a wide range of traumatic and osteoporotic bone injuries, including:
Common signs include severe pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty moving the affected limb, deformity, and inability to bear weight. If you suspect a fracture, seek medical attention immediately for proper evaluation and treatment.
No. Many fractures heal successfully with non-surgical treatment such as casting, splinting, or bracing. Surgery is recommended only when the fracture is displaced, unstable, involves a joint, or cannot heal properly without fixation.
Healing time depends on the type and location of the fracture, the patient's age, and overall health. Most fractures heal within 6 to 12 weeks, followed by rehabilitation to restore strength, flexibility, and normal function.
