Fracture treatment and plaster care by Dr Sumesh Subramanian at OrthoCure Bone & Joint Speciality Clinic, Thirumullaivoyal, serving Ambattur, Avadi, and Annanur.
Digital X-ray, diagnosis, and stabilization (splint or plaster or cast) in one visit.
If the bone is visible through the skin, if there is a head injury or unconsciousness, or if there is chest pain or difficulty breathing, please visit a major hospital Emergency Room immediately.
It can be hard to tell without an X-ray. Please visit us soon if any of these are present.
We have on site Digital X-ray to confirm the diagnosis quickly, when clinically required.
Not every fracture needs surgery. Many fractures heal well with the right immobilization and follow up. Dr Sumesh follows a conservative first approach, and surgery is discussed only when clearly needed.
Often used immediately after injury to protect the limb and allow swelling to settle before a full cast.
Traditional cast option. Useful when careful molding and stability are needed.
Lightweight and durable. Dr Sumesh will advise what suits your fracture type.
For selected minor fractures, removable boots or braces can support earlier movement, when appropriate.
If you already have X-rays from elsewhere, please bring them along.
A short, safe first aid plan helps, but the priority is timely assessment.
Yes. We have a modern Digital X-ray unit. We can diagnose the fracture, show you the images, and apply a splint or cast in one visit, when appropriate.
No. Many fractures heal well with proper immobilization. Surgery is discussed only when the fracture pattern is unstable, displaced, or involves joints in a way that needs fixation.
It depends on the bone and fracture pattern. Many wrist fractures need about four to six weeks. Some ankle fractures can need around six weeks. Follow up is planned based on healing.
This is a clinic linked service. A brief clinical review is advised so the correct views are taken and the study is used meaningfully.
This page is a general guide. Final decisions on imaging and treatment are always made after examination by Dr Sumesh Subramanian.
