What to Expect from the Best Fracture Surgeons

None of us wants to break a bone, but in life, it’s best to expect the unexpected and prepare for the worst. If the worst should happen and you’re researching your options regarding fracture surgeons, reach out to us at Angelo Mattalino, MD in Phoenix, AZ. We are equipped with the knowledge and skills to repair your breaks.

What is Fracture Surgery?

Fracture surgery is an area of orthopedic surgery concerning the repair of broken bones. Though many minor fractures will heal without surgery, more severe types of breaks require surgical intervention. The most common types of fracture surgery repair open compound fractures (where the bone has pierced the skin), or fractures where the bone has fractured into three or more pieces. Fracture surgeons may also be called upon to operate if a more simple break has not healed properly, or if the break involves a complex joint.

What Can You Expect from Fracture Surgery?

As is usual before surgery, you will undergo a consultation so that we can make sure the procedure is safe for you. Unlike other fracture surgeons, we’ll make sure to weight all your options before resorting to surgery.

Fracture surgeons aim to repair your broken bone, and may insert rods, plates or screws into the bone in order to help it heal correctly. Depending on the type of fracture, these rods and screws may be removed once the bone has healed, or they may be left in the bone permanently. It all depends on the unique case.

Though recovery times vary, the typical recovery is straightforward, especially when you follow the instructions. Once your fracture is healed, we may recommend a course of physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the injured bone.

Conclusion

If you are ever so unfortunate as to suffer a complicated fracture, then you couldn’t do better than to put yourself in the hands of one of the best fracture surgeons around. Contact us today at Angelo Mattalino, MD in Phoenix, AZ to book a consultation and get started.
