Expert Fracture Treatment

A fracture, or broken bone, can happen suddenly—during a fall, accident, or sports injury—and requires immediate and expert care. Whether it’s a minor crack or a complex break, timely and appropriate treatment is essential to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications. With Dr. Sumit Karak’s specialized expertise in Orthopaedic and trauma care, patients receive advanced, personalized treatment to recover faster and return to normal life safely.

What Is a Fracture?

A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone, and it can range from a thin crack to a complete break that splits the bone into multiple pieces. Fractures are classified based on their severity and pattern, such as:

• Closed fracture: The skin remains unbroken.
• Open (compound) fracture: The bone breaks through the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
• Comminuted fracture: The bone is shattered into several pieces.
• Displaced fracture: The broken bone fragments are misaligned.
• Greenstick or hairline fracture: A partial break, often seen in children.

The type and location of the fracture determine the treatment plan and recovery time.

Causes and Symptoms of Fractures

Fractures can occur due to:

• Trauma: Falls, accidents, or sports injuries
• Overuse: Repetitive stress leading to stress fractures
• Medical conditions: Osteoporosis or bone tumors, weakening the bone

Common signs and symptoms include:

• Sudden pain at the injury site
• Swelling and bruising
• Difficulty moving the affected limb
• Deformity or abnormal positioning
• Inability to bear weight

If you suspect a fracture, it's important to seek medical attention immediately to prevent complications.

Treatment Options

Depending on the nature and severity of the fracture, Dr. Karak offers a combination of conservative and surgical treatments:

Conservative Treatments

• Casting or splinting to immobilize the bone
• Bracing for stable fractures
• Traction for alignment in certain cases

Surgical Treatments

• Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF): Using plates, screws, or rods to realign and stabilize the bone
• Intramedullary nailing: Common for long bone fractures
• External fixation: For open or severely damaged bones
• Minimally invasive techniques for reduced trauma and faster healing

Rehabilitation and physiotherapy are key parts of recovery and are guided closely by Dr. Karak and his team.
