Fractures Are Mechanical Injuries — Not Just Broken Bones

A fracture is not merely a crack in bone; it is a disruption of alignment, load transfer, and surrounding soft tissue balance. Improper early management can lead to delayed healing, deformity, stiffness, or long-term functional loss.

At Bapashri Hospital, fracture care is approached as a time-sensitive orthopedic problem, where accuracy at the first step determines the final outcome.

Understanding Trauma: Why Early Decisions Matter

Trauma from falls, road accidents, or workplace injuries affects bone, muscle, joint, and sometimes nerves. The initial phase of treatment decides:

  • whether the bone heals in correct alignment
  • whether joints remain mobile
  • whether surgery becomes necessary or avoidable

This is why fracture care must be planned, not rushed.

How We Evaluate Fractures & Trauma

Every fracture is assessed through a structure-function framework, not just X-rays.

We evaluate:

  • fracture pattern and stability
  • joint involvement and alignment
  • soft tissue and nerve status
  • patient age, bone quality, and activity needs

This allows us to choose the least invasive option that ensures the strongest healing.

Non-Surgical Fracture Management

Many fractures heal well without surgery when:

  • alignment is acceptable
  • stability can be maintained
  • early controlled movement is possible

Proper immobilisation, monitoring, and rehabilitation are used to ensure natural bone healing without functional compromise.

Surgical Fracture Fixation — When Precision Is Required

Surgery is recommended when fractures are unstable, displaced, involve joints, or risk improper healing. Fixation is planned to:

  • restore exact bone alignment
  • protect joint movement
  • allow early mobilisation
  • reduce long-term stiffness

At Bapashri Hospital, fracture surgery focuses on anatomical restoration, not just bone union.

Special Focus: Elderly & Fragility Fractures

In elderly patients, fractures often occur due to bone weakness, not major trauma. These cases require:

  • rapid stabilisation
  • early mobilisation
  • prevention of complications

Our approach prioritises safe recovery and independence, not prolonged bed rest.

Timely Treatment Prevents Permanent Disability

Delaying or ignoring fracture care can convert a treatable injury into a lifelong limitation.
