Fractures occur when a bone is subjected to force beyond its ability to withstand, resulting in anything from small cracks to fully displaced breaks. Meanwhile, trauma-related injuries often involve high-impact incidents, such as car accidents, falls, or sports injuries, that can harm bones, joints, and soft tissues. Understanding the signs and seeking timely care are critical to ensuring proper healing and preventing long-term complications.
Symptoms of Bone Fractures and Trauma:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent further damage.
For minor fractures to heal properly, the bone usually needs to be immobilized by a brace, splint, or cast. More complicated fractures can require surgery to correct them. It is important that you receive a diagnosis promptly; otherwise, you can cause additional damage to the bone, nearby blood vessels, nerves and other tissues surrounding the bone. A medical exam and X-rays are often necessary to confirm a fracture diagnosis.

The most common fractures we see in our clinic include wrist fractures (often caused by falls), ankle fractures, and collarbone fractures. These injuries typically require immobilization, and some may need surgical correction depending on severity. If you think you’ve fractured a bone, it’s important to seek care immediately to ensure proper treatment.
Signs of traumatic fractures include extreme pain, visible deformity, significant swelling, and inability to move or bear weight. Trauma-related fractures often result from high-impact injuries, such as car accidents or sports injuries, and should be addressed as quickly as possible to avoid complications. Call us right away if you experience these symptoms.
Bone fracture treatment varies based on the severity of the injury. Minor fractures may only require immobilization through casting or splinting, while more complex fractures could need surgical repair. At Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists, we create individualized treatment plans to help you heal effectively and get back to your routine.
