骨折类型
We diagnose and treat people with the following fractures:
- 简单的骨折 occur when the bones are still aligned and stable. We will usually treat these fractures without surgery.
- 不稳定骨折 occur when parts of the bones are not in-line or have moved to another area. These may need surgery along with other treatment.
- 复合（开放性）骨折 are broken bones that come through the skin. These fractures are at higher risk of infection or complications and need immediate medical care.
- 生长板骨折 are injuries to small areas of tissue at the end of long bones in children (for example, the femur in the thigh or the humerus in the upper arm). Growth plates change over time and determine the length and shape of the bone when a child is fully grown. They are not as hard as bones so they get injured more easily. Growth plates may not heal correctly without treatment, which will lead to abnormally shaped bones or shorter bones as an adult.
骨科创伤 & 骨折的治疗
We have several different methods for treating fractures and trauma. The specific treatment you need depends on how severe your injury is and other factors.
- 把- - - - - - We will make a cast out of plaster or fiberglass and wrap it around the injured area to keep it from moving while it heals.
- 撑, We will give you a removable hard cast that supports and protects your bones 和关节 from further injury.
- 夹板, We will place a piece of hard plastic or fiberglass against the injured part of your body and wrap it with bandages to stabilize it so that it does not move. This is usually a temporary treatment to protect your injured limb until you get more permanent treatment, 比如铸造或手术.
- 物理治疗 — Not all fractures will need casting or surgery. 有些可以通过物理疗法来治疗. Our orthopedic surgeons and trauma specialists work closely with our physical therapists and refer patients for care.
- 手术, Our surgeons perform operations to fix bones 和关节 when other non-surgical treatment of physical therapy is not enough.
骨折需要多长时间才能愈合?
Most bone fractures take between six weeks and three months to heal. Joint fractures take longer to heal than fractures that do not involve the joints. Our orthopedic surgeons will discuss how long they expect it will take for your injury to heal based on where it occurs and what treatments are necessary.
