Complex Fracture Care

Complex Fracture Care at Orthoplanet Bangalore Bone & Joint Care Clinic addresses severe, unstable, or multi-fragmented fractures that require advanced orthopedic expertise and surgical precision. Led by Dr. Syed Nadeem Shajan, a specialist in trauma and reconstructive orthopedics, we deliver highly specialized treatment using modern techniques to restore bone alignment, stability, and long-term function.

Complex fractures, if not treated promptly and properly, can lead to deformity, chronic pain, disability, and joint complications. Our comprehensive care system ensures that every patient receives evidence-based treatment backed by advanced diagnostics, modern surgical procedures, and structured rehabilitation.

Understanding Complex Fractures

A fracture is considered complex when:

• The bone is broken into multiple fragments (comminuted fractures)

• There is significant displacement or angulation

• The fracture extends into a joint (intra-articular fractures)

• The skin is breached (open/compound fractures)

• Blood vessels, nerves, or muscles are at risk

• There is instability requiring fixation

These fractures commonly result from high-impact injuries such as road accidents, falls from height, sports trauma, or industrial injuries.

Types of Complex Fractures We Treat

At Orthoplanet, we specialize in managing:

• Comminuted fractures

• Open/compound fractures

• Displaced long bone fractures (tibia, femur, humerus)

• Pelvic and acetabular fractures

• Complex wrist, ankle, and elbow fractures

• Intra-articular fractures involving knee, shoulder, or hip

• Fractures with ligament or tendon involvement

• Non-union or malunion fractures requiring corrective surgery

Each case demands a customized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s injury severity and functional needs.

Advanced Diagnostic Approach

Accurate assessment is essential to plan surgical reconstruction.

1. Clinical Evaluation

• Deformity and swelling assessment

• Neurovascular status check

• Soft-tissue damage evaluation

2. Advanced Imaging

We use:

• X-rays for bone alignment analysis

• CT Scans for detailed 3D fracture mapping

• MRI for soft tissue, ligament, and cartilage evaluation

This combination ensures a complete understanding of the fracture pattern.

Treatment Options for Complex Fractures

Complex fractures often require advanced surgical intervention for stabilization and healing.

1. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

• Realignment of bone fragments

• Fixation using plates, screws, or rods

• Ideal for displaced and multi-fragment fractures

2. Minimally Invasive Fixation

• Smaller incisions

• Reduced blood loss

• Faster healing and shorter hospital stay

3. External Fixation

Used for:

• Severe open fractures

• Major soft-tissue injuries

• Temporary or definitive stabilization

4. Bone Grafting

Helps in:

• Filling bone gaps

• Stimulating healing

• Treating non-union or complex bone loss

Post-Treatment Rehabilitation

Recovery is carefully monitored through:

1. Pain & Swelling Management

• Medication

• Ice therapy

• Elevation techniques

2. Physiotherapy

Focused on:

• Improving mobility

• Strengthening surrounding muscles

• Preventing stiffness

• Restoring functional movement

3. Regular Follow-Ups

To check:

• Bone healing progress

• Alignment status

• Implant stability
