Immediate Steps for Suspected Fractures
When a bone injury occurs due to a fall, accident, or sports mishap, immediate and correct first aid prevents secondary damage. Do not attempt to straighten a deformed limb or force it back into place. Immobilize the injured area gently using a splint, sling, or rigid support if available. Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce initial swelling and pain, and rush to a specialized trauma center like Muskaan Hospital in Budh Vihar for digital X-ray confirmation and professional care.
Orthopedic Evaluation and Cast Application
Upon arriving at our emergency department, our expert orthopedic team, including Dr. Himanshu, performs a thorough clinical assessment followed by rapid digital imaging. Depending on the fracture type, a custom plaster of Paris (POP) or lightweight fiberglass cast is applied to secure bone alignment during healing. Patients receive detailed instructions on keeping the cast dry, maintaining limb elevation to minimize swelling, and managing prescribed pain relief safely.
Required Documents Checklist
