Depending on the characteristics of the fracture, specialists decide whether the treatment of the fracture or fractures will be conservative or surgical.
Conservative treatments are usually with or without external manipulation and immobilization with splints, plaster or fiberglass, corsets, or simply bed rest.
Surgical treatments of fractures range from closed or open reduction of the fracture (fragments alignment) and fixation with implants. Fixation can be internal or external.
According to the World Health Organization, men fracture at younger ages (17 - 49 years) and women, on average after the age of 50.
Bones are structures that break, but thanks to a privileged tissue, they also have a mechanism to recover themselves and return to their initial aspect.
For a successful recovery, the diagnosis is basic. At CIFO our patients are thoroughly evaluated, using clinical tools and making use of the most advanced diagnostic technology.
Make sure your natural bone healing process is in optimal conditions to avoid risks, pain or prolonged healing time.
