Fractures treatment in Chilpancingo

A fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone, that is, a complete or partial break that usually occurs after a blow, a fall, or a sudden strain; some weakened bones can break with minor trauma.

Common symptoms:

• Intense pain that increases with movement
• Swelling and the appearance of bruising
• Difficulty or inability to move the area
• Sometimes visible deformity

When to seek care? It's a good idea to seek care promptly when there is significant pain after trauma, deformity, or an inability to bear weight on or move the limb.

Specialized care: The orthopedist and the trauma surgeon are the ones who evaluate and follow up on fractures, supported by imaging studies from the radiologist and, during recovery, by the physical therapist. If you suspect a fracture, the wisest thing to do is have a professional examine the injury before trying to move it.
