Bone and Joint Injuries & Fractures

Bone and joint injuries, including fractures, sprains, and dislocations, can result from accidents, sports activities, or underlying conditions like osteoporosis. At Heritage Hospital, our Orthopedic Department specializes in diagnosing and treating these injuries to restore mobility and prevent complications.

Types of Bone & Joint Injuries:

Fractures: Broken bones caused by trauma, stress, or medical conditions.
Dislocations: When a bone moves out of its normal position in a joint.
Sprains & Strains: Ligament and muscle injuries due to overstretching or tearing.
Stress Fractures: Small cracks in bones caused by repetitive force.
Osteoporotic Fractures: Fragile bone fractures due to decreased bone density.

Treatment Approaches:

Immobilization & Non-Surgical Methods:
- Casts, splints, and braces help stabilize fractures and soft tissue injuries for proper healing.
- Physical therapy improves mobility and strengthens muscles after recovery.
Surgical Intervention:
- Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF): Uses plates, screws, or rods to realign and stabilize fractured bones.
- Joint Replacement Surgery: For severe joint damage, especially in the hips and knees.
- Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint injuries.
Pain Management & Rehabilitation:
- Medications and physiotherapy aid in pain relief and recovery.
- Strengthening exercises prevent future injuries and improve joint function.
