Fracture refers to a broken bone, typically caused by external forces or excessive stress, with various types and severities. Dislocation is the displacement of bones at a joint, often due to traumatic injury, resulting in the bones being forced out of their normal position. Both injuries necessitate medical treatment, including realigning the bone or joint and immobilization, to promote healing and prevent complications.
Management of Fractures and dislocations
- Closed Reduction
- Closed Reduction with K-wire fixation
- Closed Reduction with Intramedullary Nailing
- Open Reduction and Fixation
- Grafting
Signs and Symptoms of Fracture
- Intense localized pain at the site of the fracture.
- Swelling and bruising around the injured area, often occurring rapidly.
- Visible deformity or an abnormal appearance of the affected limb or joint.
- Difficulty moving the injured limb or joint, with reduced range of motion.
- Inability to put weight on the affected limb, especially if it's a lower extremity fracture.
- A grating or grinding sensation when the fractured ends of bone rub against each other
- Numbness or tingling in the area below the fracture, which may indicate nerve involvement.
Treatment
Treatment intervention in the initial development stages of osteoarthritis may improve joint preservation, joint integrity and its function in the long-term, or even a lifetime. It can also save you from the debilitating pain and the possible need for joint replacement surgery. The treatment goal is to improve functionality of the knee and control pain.

The choice of treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical, depends on the type and severity of the fracture or dislocation, the individual's overall health, and the specific circumstances of the injury. An orthopedic specialist will determine the most suitable approach for each case.
I had been consulting with Dr. Muhammed Fazil for the past two years. My two knees were successfully replaced with an orthopaedic knee implant. I am able to do the same type of work that I did previously. I am so satisfied with Dr. Fazil’s consultation. I personally recommend it to my relatives and friends who ever come across ortho-related diseases. He is so polite by nature and calmly explains every detail of the medical condition in simple language.
I had been suffering from severe knee pain for many years. Due to the pain, I was not able to walk properly. My relative was consulting with Dr. Muhammad Fazil, and his knees were successfully replaced by the doctor. I was literally witnessing the gradual change in the walking condition of my relative. So I went to the doctor, and he examined me in detail, suggested some diagnoses, and gave me a date for the operation. Dr. Fazil was with me through the entire process like a good friend, and he helped me give a second life to my legs
