Fracture Surgery

Surgical stabilisation of fractures to restore alignment and support bone healing and functional recovery.

Fracture treatment is selected according to the location and pattern of the fracture, soft-tissue condition, bone quality, patient factors, and functional requirements.

Surgical Treatment & Methods

Surgical treatment may involve:

  • - Plates and screws
  • - Locking plates
  • - Intramedullary nails
  • - Percutaneous fixation
  • - External fixation
  • - Other specialised fixation methods

The aim is to achieve appropriate alignment and stability while respecting the biology of fracture healing.

Potential Benefits of Appropriate Fixation

  • Restoration of fracture alignment
  • Appropriate mechanical stability for healing
  • Protection of soft tissues and bone biology where possible
  • Earlier movement of adjacent joints when safe
  • Improved opportunity for functional recovery

Recovery

Recovery varies significantly according to the fracture and fixation.

Early phase

Wound care, swelling control, pain management, and movement of safe joints.

Following weeks

Progressive rehabilitation and follow-up imaging.

Later stages

Gradual progression of weight-bearing and strengthening as healing permits.

Weight-bearing Timing

The timing of weight-bearing and return to activity is determined by the fracture, fixation stability, radiological healing, and clinical progress.
