Understanding Fractures: What You Need to Know

A fracture, or broken bone, can be sustained by a bone in your body. Fractures have different types and can be minor, hairline fractures or much more severe. The type and severity of the fracture determine the treatment the patient needs and contributes to how long recovery will take. Patients with suspected fractures are given on-site X-rays so our team can determine exactly what type of fracture you have and the treatment it requires to mend.
