Fracture Treatment

The treatment for a fracture (broken bone) typically depends on the location, type, and severity of the fracture. Common treatments include:

• Immobilization: A cast, brace, or splint may be used to keep the broken bone in place and promote healing.
• Pain management: Over-the-counter pain medication or prescription medication can be used to relieve pain.
• Physical therapy: To regain strength and range of motion, physical therapy may be prescribed after the bone has healed.
• Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the broken bone or to insert pins, plates, or screws to hold the bone in place.

It’s important to follow your doctor’s recommendations and to keep all follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and a full recovery.

Shoulder and elbow surgery is a type of orthopedic surgery that is performed to treat a variety of conditions affecting the shoulder or elbow joint, including:

• Rotator cuff tear: A tear in the tendons or muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.
• Shoulder instability: A condition where the shoulder joint is too loose and dislocates easily.
• Arthritis: Inflammation and degeneration of the shoulder or elbow joint.
• Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): Pain and inflammation in the outer part of the elbow.

Surgery for shoulder and elbow conditions can involve repairing damaged tissue, removing damaged tissue, or reconstructing the joint. The type of surgery recommended will depend on the specific condition and its severity. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions for a safe and effective recovery.
