Fractured and Broken Bones Treatment in Orange County, CA

Receive Walk-In Treatment for Fractured and Broken Bones

Fractures or broken bones are among the most commonly occurring cases at urgent care centers. You could experience a fracture if you fall, have a sports-related injury, are involved in an accident, or have a bone-weakening condition such as bone cancer or osteoporosis. While this concern may not be life-threatening, getting prompt fracture treatment is crucial to avoid complications.

How Do We Diagnose a Fracture or a Broken Bone?

Our doctors will perform a complete physical examination on the injured area and discuss your symptoms. For fractures, you may experience the following:

Pain at the injured spot, which increases when pressure is applied
Swelling
Bruising or discoloration
Bleeding
Tenderness
Numbness
Inability to move the body part or put weight on it

Based on their examination and your symptoms, they may recommend imaging tests to accurately diagnose your injury and provide you with the optimal treatment.

Treatment Options for Fractures and Broken Bones

We offer treatment options based on two main factors:

Severity of the fracture
Location of the injury, i.e.:
- Wrist
- Foot
- Broken ribs and others
  Our treatments ensure relief from discomfort and re-establishing alignment of the affected bones to help you regain strength and mobility.
Immobilization
This is done through use of casts and splints, which support the injured bone and prevent unnecessary movement. This process allows the sections of the bone to join together and heal. We use a simple wrap and splint to hold the bone in place for minor bone fractures.

However, for the more severe fractures and broken bones that require further treatment, such as surgery, we can refer you for more specialized care.

Self-Misdiagnose Your Fracture for a Sprain?

Every time you fall, it may not necessarily lead to a bone break. You could suffer a strain or sprain — a ligament or muscle/tendon injury . However, consulting a healthcare professional is always the best option rather than trying to diagnose yourself. Both sprains and broken bones share symptoms of pain and swelling. Our providers evaluate your condition with proper examination and image tests to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

Sprains involve the stretching or tearing of your ligaments, while fractures refer to the damage or breakage of your bones. Sprains, in many cases, occur at the ankles; so, ankle injuries can involve either a sprain or a fracture, or even both.

The symptoms of a sprain, as mentioned earlier, are similar to a fracture, and you may experience:

Pain
Swelling and bruising
An audible pop sound at the time of injury
Restricted movement at the injury area
