Expert Care for Complex Bone Fractures & Trauma
Overview
We provide comprehensive trauma services ranging from simple plaster casting to complex open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for shattered or misaligned bones.
We specialize in managing complex trauma, nonunions (unhealed fractures), and revision bone surgeries to restore skeletal integrity.
Common Symptoms & Indications
- ✕ Sudden severe pain after injury
- ✕ Inability to bear weight

- ✓ Minimizing the risk of nonunion or malunion
- ✓ Early joint mobilization
Rehabilitation & Recovery Timeline
Reduction & Stabilization
Surgical fixation or custom casting to secure the fractured bone.
Initial Bone Healing
Rest, restricted weight-bearing, and monitoring via periodic digital X-rays.
Progressive Rehabilitation
Gradual weight-bearing and targeted physiotherapy to rebuild joint mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most fractures heal within 6 to 8 weeks, though complex bone fractures or weight-bearing bones can take 12 weeks or longer.
Closed reduction realigns the bone without surgery; open reduction is a surgical procedure where the bone is fixed using hardware.
Nonunion is a complication where the fractured bone fails to heal. We offer specialized revision surgeries and bone grafting for this.
Physiotherapy for neighboring joints starts immediately, while the injured area starts therapy once stable bone union is visible on X-rays.
