Fractures

Fractures are breaks or cracks in the bone that can occur due to accidents, falls, sports injuries, or excessive stress on the body. They may range from small hairline fractures to severe breaks that affect surrounding muscles, joints, and tissues. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty moving the affected area, and inability to bear weight. Prompt diagnosis through physical examination and imaging tests is important to ensure proper healing. Treatment options may include immobilization, casting, medication, physiotherapy, or surgical intervention depending on the severity of the fracture. Early care and rehabilitation help restore strength, mobility, and overall function.
