Trauma and Fracture Care

A fracture is a broken bone caused by an injury, such as a fall, sports collision, car accident, or other sudden trauma. Fractures can range from small, stable breaks to more complex injuries involving displaced or multiple broken bones.
Many fractures can heal successfully without surgery. Treatment may include a cast, splint, or brace to protect the injured bone and hold it in the proper position while it heals.

More complex, unstable, or displaced fractures may require surgery to restore the normal position and stability of the bone. Depending on the injury, surgical treatment may involve specialized pins, plates, screws, rods, or other implants designed to support the bone during healing.
