I provide expert examination and treatment of complicated lower limb fractures, including damage to the femur, tibia, ankle and bones surrounding existing joint replacements.The treatment is adapted to the specific fracture pattern, your general health, mobility, bone quality and your objectives.

Nonsurgical Management

Some fractures that are stable or just slightly displaced may heal without surgery. Potential treatment:

I will keep a careful eye on the fracture to make sure it stays aligned throughout healing.

Surgical Treatment

If the fracture is displaced, unstable, open, involves a joint, impairs circulation or cannot be kept in an appropriate posture, surgery may be necessary. Surgery may include, depending on the injury:

The purpose is to restore alignment, preserve the joint and enable safe mobilization.

Femur Fracture

Femur fractures are significant injuries that often need surgery. Treatment may be a rod within the bone or fixation with plates and screws.
Early mobilization, avoidance of blood clots and systematic therapy are crucial factors of recovery.

Tibia Fracture

Tibial fractures may be simple stable injuries or major open fractures with extensive soft tissue injury. Treatment may include casting, bracing, intramedullary nailing, plate fixation or external fixation depending on fracture and tissues around].

Fractures of the Ankle

Ankle fractures that are stable may be treated in a boot or a cast. Surgery is usually needed for unstable fractures to put the ankle joint back into place and limit the risk of future discomfort, stiffness or arthritis.

Rehabilitation is aimed at controlling edema and gradually introducing weight bearing, mobility, strength and balance.

Fractures around the Prosthesis

Periprosthetic fracture is a fracture surrounding an existing hip or knee replacement.These injuries may be complicated and need thorough examination of:

Treatment might include fixation about the current implant, revision joint replacement or a mix of both.

Restoration

How well you recover depends on the nature and severity of the break. You will need:

I will take you through each step of recovery and modify your therapy as you improve.
