Fracture Care

Fractures (broken bones) can occur from falls, sports injuries, or direct trauma and may cause pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty using the affected area.

At Twin Creeks Orthopedics and Regenerative Clinic, we evaluate suspected fractures and provide appropriate nonsurgical fracture care, including immobilization and follow-up management.

Same-day appointments may be available for select injuries.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

• Pain after a fall or injury
• Swelling, bruising, or tenderness
• Difficulty moving or using the affected area
• Visible deformity or instability
• Pain with weight-bearing or movement

If so, an evaluation may help determine whether a fracture or other injury is present.

What is a Fracture?

A fracture is a break or crack in a bone. Fractures can range from small stress fractures to more significant breaks that affect bone alignment and stability.

Proper evaluation helps determine the type and severity of the injury and guides appropriate care.

When Should You Seek Care?

Prompt evaluation is important to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Consider scheduling an evaluation if you experience:

• Suspected fracture after injury
• Persistent pain, swelling, or bruising
• Difficulty bearing weight or using a limb
• Limited movement after trauma
• Symptoms that do not improve

Our Approach to Fracture Care

Care begins with a detailed evaluation to assess the injury and determine the appropriate next steps. When appropriate, fracture care may include:

Immobilization and Support

• Casting or splinting
• Bracing when appropriate
• Fracture reduction when needed to improve alignment before immobilization
• Activity modification to protect healing

Monitoring and Follow-up

• Re-evaluation to assess healing progress
• Guidance on safe return to activity
• Adjustment of support devices as needed

Coordination of Care

• Referral for surgical management when necessary
• Coordination with specialists for complex injuries

Important Considerations

Not all fractures require surgery. Many fractures can be managed with appropriate immobilization, monitoring, and gradual return to activity.

Early and accurate diagnosis is key to proper healing.

Schedule and Evaluation

If you suspect a fracture or have pain after an injury, schedule an evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate care.
