Diagnosis and treatment of bone fractures

Dec 1, 2016Posted by nameless

Doctors can diagnose bone fractures with x-rays. They may also use CT scans (computed tomography) and MRI scans (magnetic resonance imaging).

Broken bones heal by themselves – the aim of medical treatment is to make sure the pieces of bone are lined up correctly. The bone needs to recover fully in strength, movement and sensitivity. Some complicated fractures may need surgery or surgical traction (or both).

Depending on where the fracture is and how severe, treatment may include:

Splints – to stop movement of the broken limb

Braces – to support the bone

Plaster cast – to provide support and immobilise the bone

Traction – a less common option

Surgically inserted metal rods or plates – to hold the bone pieces together

Pain relief.
