What should I do after a fracture?
A fracture can feel overwhelming, especially for families who are trying to decide what to do next. Many fractures heal well with structured care. Early assessment helps avoid missed injuries and stiffness. Our role is to reduce uncertainty and guide the next step.
Not every injury is an emergency, and not every fracture needs surgery. A careful assessment separates urgent problems from stable injuries that can be managed in clinic.
Should I go to the ER or a clinic for a fracture?
Go to ER
- Bone sticking out
- Unbearable pain
- Head injury
Come to us
- Swollen ankle
- Wrist pain
- Twisted knee
- "Did I break it?"
If you are unsure whether ER or clinic review is right, you can reach the clinic team for guidance.
What are common fracture symptoms?
Most fractures show a clear pattern: pain at a specific point, swelling, bruising, and difficulty using the limb. Movement often increases discomfort, and people naturally guard the area. Severe sprains and soft-tissue injuries can feel similar, so we confirm with a careful exam and an X-ray. Children may avoid using the limb even without obvious deformity, while older adults can have more diffuse pain after a fall.
What common injuries do you treat?
Common injuries we see in clinic include:
Ankle
Sprains & hairline fractures.
Wrist
Radius fractures (common in kids).
Clavicle
Collarbone breaks.
Elderly
Hip/pelvic safety checks (see Hip & Pelvic Disorders).
How do you confirm a fracture?
Clinical examination We check alignment, swelling, skin condition, and nerve/circulation. Visits are usually within 30 minutes, depending on the injury.
Imaging X-rays are the first choice and confirm alignment, not just the break. CT or MRI is used only if it changes the plan.
What to bring Any old X-rays or reports, ER discharge notes if you were seen already, and a list of current medicines.
Can fractures heal without surgery?
If alignment is stable, we start with conservative care. Surgery is considered mainly for instability or joint surface issues.
Conservative fracture care Splints, casts, and braces protect alignment while the bone heals. We pair this with guidance on safe movement so joints above and below do not become stiff.
Monitoring healing Follow‑up reviews and repeat imaging are used when alignment could shift. If position changes or function is at risk, we adjust the plan early.
When is fracture surgery needed?
Surgery is considered when a fracture is unstable, alignment is unlikely to hold, a joint surface is involved, or conservative care is not keeping the bone in a functional position. The goal is not to do more, but to do what protects function.
We explain the options, recommend the right path, and keep the timing steady, not rushed.
What does fracture recovery look like?
Healing moves through phases rather than fixed dates. In the early phase, protection and swelling control take priority. In the middle phase, safe movement and confidence return gradually. In the later phase, the focus shifts to daily activities and steady strength.
Progress is individual. Age, bone quality, injury type, and daily demands all shape the pace. We track functional markers rather than pushing a calendar.
What is the next step after a fracture?
If you have had a recent injury or are unsure about an X‑ray report, a focused evaluation can bring clarity. For triage uncertainty, you can also start with an Orthopedic OPD Consultation. We explain the findings, confirm whether conservative care is appropriate, and outline a safe plan that fits your daily life.
If you were looking for a nearby trauma care clinic or fracture doctor, you can start here. When you feel ready, we review your case and tell you the next step, without pressure.
FAQs
Does every fracture need surgery?
No. Many fractures heal well with splints or casts when alignment is stable. In South Delhi clinics like ours, surgery is considered only when stability or long-term function is at risk.
I already have an ER splint. What happens next?
We review your discharge note and X-rays, check alignment and swelling, and decide whether to continue splinting, move to a cast, or adjust the plan. If stiffness becomes a concern, we can also connect you with [Physiotherapy & Rehab](/services/physiotherapy).
Is pain or swelling normal while healing?
Some pain and swelling are expected early on. We guide pain control, elevation, and safe movement, and we review you if swelling keeps increasing or movement becomes harder.
When can I return to work or travel?
It depends on the fracture type, your role, and how safely you can move. We focus on functional milestones rather than dates.
Do I need repeat X-rays?
Often yes, especially when alignment could shift. Repeat imaging helps confirm the fracture is healing in the right position.
