Trauma Care: Fracture Management at Sortho Bone & Joint Clinics
At Sortho Bone & Joint Clinics, we specialize in comprehensive trauma care, offering expert management of complex fractures and non-union surgeries. Our goal is to restore your mobility, alleviate pain and ensure proper healing through advanced techniques and personalized care.
Fracture Management Services Include:
1. Complex Fracture Treatment
- Multi-fragment Fractures: For fractures with multiple bone pieces, we use specialized techniques such as plating, screws, or external fixation to align and stabilize the bones for optimal healing.
- Anatomical Fractures: We focus on restoring bone alignment and function to reduce long-term complications, especially in critical areas like the pelvis, spine, or extremities.
2. Non-Union Surgeries
- Bone Grafting: When a fracture fails to heal on its own, bone grafting may be used to provide necessary growth material for bone regeneration.
- Advanced Fixation Methods: Techniques like internal fixation with plates, screws, or external devices are used to provide the stability needed for proper healing of non-union fractures.
- Stem Cell Therapy & Growth Factors: Cutting-edge regenerative therapies, such as stem cell injections or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), are used to promote bone healing and encourage regeneration in non-union cases.

What to Expect During Fracture Management
1. Consultation & Diagnosis
- A thorough evaluation and advanced imaging studies are used to assess the severity of the fracture and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Surgical Treatment & Post-Surgical Care
- Depending on the fracture type, surgery may be required to realign bones and secure them using various fixation methods. Post-surgery, our team monitors recovery closely to prevent complications.
3. Rehabilitation & Recovery
- After surgery, personalized rehabilitation programs, including physiotherapy, are designed to restore strength, flexibility, and function.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the treatment for complex fractures?
Complex fractures often involve multiple fragments or complicated anatomy. Our trauma specialists use advanced techniques such as plating, screws, or external fixation to stabilize and align the bones. This ensures optimal healing and reduces the risk of complications.
How do we treat non-union fractures?
For non-union fractures that have not healed naturally, we may perform surgeries such as bone grafting, fixation with specialized devices, or use advanced treatments like stem cell therapy and PRP to encourage healing and bone regeneration.
How long does recovery take after a complex fracture surgery?
Recovery time depends on the severity of the fracture and the type of surgery performed. Typically, recovery ranges from 6 to 12 weeks, with regular physiotherapy and follow-up care to ensure proper healing and regain function.
Is pediatric fracture care different from adult fracture care?
Yes, pediatric fracture care is tailored to account for the growth and development of children’s bones. Our team uses child-friendly techniques that ensure minimal disruption to their growth while effectively treating fractures.
Are there any risks involved in fracture surgeries?
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, and complications with healing. However, our trauma care specialists use the latest techniques and equipment to minimize these risks, and we closely monitor the recovery process to ensure the best possible outcomes.
