Bone Fractures
A break in bone continuity from trauma, falls or stress, causing pain, swelling, deformity and inability to bear weight. Treated with precise reduction and stable fixation.
ABOUT THIS CONDITION
What is Bone Fractures?
Bone fractures are breaks in the continuity of bone caused by trauma, falls, road accidents, sports injuries, or weakness from osteoporosis. Fractures may be simple, comminuted, open, intra-articular or pathological — causing severe pain, swelling, deformity and inability to bear weight or use the affected limb. Dr. Bathini Hithesh expertly manages all fracture types with precise reduction and stable fixation for full functional recovery.

WHY IT HAPPENS
Causes & Risk Factors
- Road traffic accidents and trauma
- Falls from height or slips
- Sports and contact-injury impacts
- Osteoporosis-related fragility fractures
- Stress fractures from overuse
- Pathological fractures from underlying disease
CLINICAL DETAILS
KeyFacts
Simple, comminuted, open, intra-articular and pathological fracture patterns
X-ray, CT or MRI to assess pattern and displacement
Most fixation procedures take 60–120 minutes
Bone healing typically takes 6–12 weeks for adults
1–5 days depending on complexity and surgery type
Emergency cashless approval available with most insurers
HOW WE TREAT IT
Treatment Approach
Precise Fracture Fixation
Dr. Hithesh performs precise fracture fixation using modern implants like locking plates, intramedullary nails, screws and external fixators, ensuring accurate alignment, stable healing and faster return to full functional activity.
- 1
Emergency Assessment
Dr. Hithesh performs rapid clinical examination, X-rays, CT scans and stabilises the limb to plan precise fracture management strategy.
- 2
Fracture Reduction
Bone fragments are realigned using closed or open techniques under anaesthesia, restoring proper bone alignment, length and joint orientation.
- 3
Stable Fixation
Plates, screws, intramedullary nails, K-wires or external fixators are chosen based on fracture type and location for stable healing.
- 4
Guided Rehabilitation
Structured physiotherapy, weight-bearing protocol and follow-up X-rays ensure proper bone healing and full functional recovery within months.
AVAILABLE TREATMENTS
Treatment Options
Closed Reduction & Casting
Non-surgical method realigning broken bone manually and immobilising in plaster cast, allowing natural healing for stable fractures.
ORIF (Open Reduction & Internal Fixation)
Surgical realignment and stabilisation of fractures using plates, screws or rods, ensuring correct healing and early function.
Intramedullary Nailing (IM Nail)
Insertion of metal rod into marrow canal, providing strong internal stabilisation and allowing early weight-bearing and movement.
K-Wire / Tension Band Wiring
Wire-based fixation for small bone, paediatric or avulsion fractures, providing stable alignment with minimal soft-tissue disruption.
Ilizarov / Ring Fixator
External circular frame for complex fractures, deformity correction or limb lengthening, especially in non-union and infection cases.
CRIF (Closed Reduction Internal Fixation)
Minimally invasive fracture realignment without open incisions, stabilised internally using nails or wires under imaging guidance.
External Fixation
Temporary or definitive stabilisation using pins and rods outside the body, ideal for open fractures and severe trauma.
Arthroplasty for Fractures
Joint replacement for severe intra-articular fractures, especially in elderly patients, allowing quick mobility and avoiding bed rest.
Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS)
Specialised plate-screw construct stabilising intertrochanteric hip fractures, allowing controlled compression at fracture site for faster healing.
Hemiarthroplasty
Partial joint replacement for displaced neck-of-femur fractures in elderly, allowing rapid mobilisation, pain relief and recovery.
