Dr. Ankkur Kumar
A fracture needs the right treatment from the very first day. Delayed or incorrect treatment can affect your recovery for years.
A fracture can happen in an instant — but the uncertainty about what comes next often causes the most worry. The sooner you get a clear diagnosis, the sooner you can begin healing the right way.
You or a family member has had a fall, accident or impact and there is pain, swelling or difficulty moving a limb.
You are not sure if it is a fracture or a sprain and want a proper diagnosis.
You have been told you have a fracture and are worried about whether it needs surgery or how long recovery will take.
You want honest advice from a specialist you can trust to give you the right treatment from day one.
Getting the right diagnosis and treatment immediately gives you the best possible chance of a full and fast recovery.
A fracture is a break in a bone that can range from a small crack to a complete break. Fractures happen most commonly after falls, accidents, sports injuries or repetitive stress on a bone.
Some fractures are obvious — with visible deformity, severe pain and inability to move. Others, like stress fractures, are subtle and can be mistaken for a sprain or muscle pull.
The treatment of a fracture depends on which bone is affected, the severity of the break and the age and health of the patient. Not all fractures need surgery. Many heal well with the right non-surgical management. Learn more about when fracture surgery is needed.
What matters most is getting an accurate diagnosis quickly and starting the right treatment without delay.
From wrist fractures to complex trauma, here are the fractures patients most commonly come to us for.
Common after a fall on an outstretched hand. Ranges from simple cracks to complex displacement.
From twisting injuries, falls or sports accidents. Requires accurate diagnosis to rule out ligament damage.
Serious injuries in older adults requiring urgent specialist care. Delayed treatment can have serious consequences.
From high energy trauma including road accidents. Often require surgical fixation for proper healing.
From falls, collisions or direct impact injuries. Treatment depends on severity and bone displacement.
Repetitive overuse injuries in athletes and active individuals. Often missed without specialist evaluation.
Comminuted or open fractures requiring surgical expertise and careful management for full recovery.
Specialist care for fractures in children. Growth plate injuries require careful management to prevent deformity.
Fractures should never wait. Dr. Ankkur provides same-day assessment with X-ray review to confirm the diagnosis and begin treatment immediately.
Many fractures heal fully with the right casting, splinting and physiotherapy without any surgical procedure.
Complex or displaced fractures may require internal fixation using plates, screws or nails to ensure the bone heals in the correct position.
Every patient receives a clear recovery timeline, physiotherapy guidance and follow-up schedule to ensure complete healing and return to normal life.
Strong pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty moving the area, trouble putting weight on a limb, or a visible change in shape can suggest a fracture. These signs are not proof, and only an examination along with imaging such as an X-ray can confirm it, so it is best to have an injury checked promptly.
Keep the injured area still and supported, avoid putting weight on it, and get medical help soon. If there is an open wound, heavy bleeding, a limb that looks badly out of shape, or severe pain, go to the nearest emergency department without delay.
No. Some fractures are managed with a cast or splint, while others may need surgery, for example when the bone has moved out of position or the joint is involved. Dr. Ankkur Kumar will advise on the right option after examining you and reviewing your imaging.
Healing time varies with the bone involved, the type of fracture, age, general health, and the treatment chosen. Your doctor can give you an estimate after seeing your X-rays, and following the advice on movement, weight bearing, and follow-up visits supports recovery.
