Fracture management

Advanced Fracture Care in Bangalore | Manipal Hospitals Varthur Road

Effective fracture management ensures patient safety and facilitates recovery in emergency care. When a fracture occurs, the first step is immobilization using casts, splints, or braces. This stabilization is crucial as it prevents further injury, reduces pain, and helps align the bones for optimal healing. Pain management is also a key component of care in emergencies. Healthcare providers often administer analgesics or anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate fracture discomfort. Managing pain effectively allows patients to remain more comfortable and aids in their overall recovery. The Accident and Emergency Department at Manipal Hospital Varthur employs diverse options for managing fracture pain and promoting efficient healing, including: 

  • Ice Therapy: Ice packs provide momentary pain relief by numbing the affected area and reducing inflammation. 

  • Physical Therapy: Exercises under guidance improve circulation and flexibility, which minimizes discomfort and speeds up healing. 

  • Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): TENS provides effective pain management. It uses low-voltage electrical currents to block pain signals to the brain. Proper fracture management involves not only immobilization and pain relief but also monitoring and rehabilitation to ensure the best possible outcomes. This comprehensive approach allows healthcare professionals to address all aspects of the injury, leading to a more efficient and effective healing process. Employing these strategies at Manipal Hospital Varthur ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care, promoting quicker recovery and reducing the risk of complications.
