Fracture Care

If you’ve ever had a bone fracture before, then you already know it is not a pleasant experience. Bone fractures most commonly occur when a certain amount of force is incurred by a bone that it can’t handle. For instance, many people incur bone fractures as the result of a fall or while playing sports. As people age and bones become more fragile, a bone fracture can turn into a long process of healing, pain management, and even physical therapy in some cases.

At Mid-America Orthopedics, we know that no two fractures are exactly alike, which means their treatment should be tailored to each individual break. Our orthopedic doctors and support staff strive to deliver patient-specific care that caters to the uniqueness of your fracture to expedite your recovery as much as possible.

Treatment options for healing broken or fractured bones include casting, splinting or bracing, physical therapy, resetting the bone, or surgery. At your first appointment, a full evaluation of your injury will be completed to determine the best treatment plan for you. We’ll also take the time to gather a full medical history on you which may dictate your treatment options.

For most fractures, our orthopedic doctors will be able to put you on a treatment plan that handles both the healing of the bone along with the pain management aspect. Maintaining your quality of life while your fracture heals is of the utmost importance to us. In the event that your bone requires a more aggressive form of treatment, one of our orthopedic surgeons will be brought in to discuss your options.

Surgery is sometimes necessary to ensure that the bone heals correctly and you’re brought back to 100% again. Should you end up needing surgery, you can take comfort in the fact that our orthopedic surgeons have decades of combined experience in the field of advanced orthopedics. Mid-America Orthopedics can also set you up with physical therapy when you reach that stage in your recovery.
