Fracture & Trauma Care
Fractures and traumatic bone injuries need prompt, accurate diagnosis and the right treatment to heal correctly and restore full function. Dr. Md. Rakiz Khan provides comprehensive fracture and trauma care, from emergency stabilisation to definitive surgical or non-surgical treatment.
Symptoms
- Severe pain, swelling, or bruising after an injury
- Visible deformity or inability to move the affected limb
- Inability to bear weight on the injured leg or arm
- A grinding or cracking sensation at the injury site
- Numbness or loss of sensation below the injury
Diagnosis
Evaluation begins with a clinical examination of the injured area, followed by X-rays and, where needed, CT or MRI imaging to determine the exact fracture pattern and plan appropriate treatment.
Treatment Options
- Closed reduction and casting for stable, non-displaced fractures
- Internal fixation with plates, screws, or rods for displaced fractures
- External fixation for severe or open fractures
- Structured rehabilitation to restore strength and movement after healing
Prompt fracture care reduces the risk of complications and gives the best chance of a full functional recovery. Seek consultation as soon as possible after a fracture or injury.
Who Should Consult
- Any suspected fracture after a fall, accident, or sports injury
- Visible deformity or inability to use the injured limb
- Severe pain or swelling following trauma
- A fracture that has not healed properly after previous treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
Does every fracture need surgery?
No, many stable fractures heal well with casting or splinting alone; surgery is reserved for displaced or unstable fractures.
How long does a fracture take to heal?
Healing time varies by bone and severity, typically ranging from a few weeks to a few months.
When can I return to normal activity after a fracture?
This depends on the fracture and treatment used; your surgeon will guide a safe, gradual return to activity.
