A bone fracture typically occurs when trauma has impacted a bone, but not to the extent that a complete break has taken place. Fractures can be large or small, but they almost always cause pain and impact mobility. Fractures can also occur due to degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis, so it's important for you to have regular checkups if you're suffering from such conditions.
At Advocare Skylands Orthopaedics, we specialize in fracture care, and our experienced medical professionals can assist you with treatments designed to promote faster healing and pain relief. Using the latest in imaging technology, we can identify fractures in great detail, and our treatment options allow our patients to continue living normal lives while they receive fracture care.
It's important to point out that an untreated fracture will generally only get worse over time, so it's critical to address the problem right away. If too much pressure is placed on a fractured bone, it can lead to a full break, infection, and more.
