Upper Limb Fracture
Treatment in Lahore.
Research shows that 50% of all fractures are upper limb fractures. There are breaks or cracks in the upper limbs. It comprises all the bones from the shoulder to the tips of the fingers (shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, and fingers). The main reasons for upper limb fractures include road accidents, sports injuries, falls, or injuries sustained at work. Most upper limb fractures result from falling on an outstretched hand.
This will lead to either a bending force that causes an oblique fracture, a twisting force that causes a spiral fracture, or a direct force (striking an object) that causes a transverse fracture. All types of upper limb fractures are successfully treated at Bones Cure in Lahore. We offer both traditional and minimally invasive surgery options to give you the best possible healing experience.
Upper Limb fractures Treated at Bones Cure
Shoulder and Upper Arm Fracture:
Shoulder fracture treatment includes managing fractures of the collarbone and humerus. They include proximal humerus fracture, humeral shaft fracture, and scapula fracture. Severe cases may require shoulder surgery to restore joint stability and prevent stiffness.
Elbow Fractures
We provide advanced elbow fracture treatment and elbow joint fracture treatment to prevent long-term stiffness and arthritis. Elbow fractures treated include radial head fracture, olecranon fracture, and supracondylar fracture. Early surgical correction ensures proper joint movement.
Forearm Fractures
Both bone forearm fracture treatment involves stabilizing the radius and ulna bones. We also treat Monteggia and Galeazzi fractures. Surgery is often needed when both bones are broken.
Wrist Fractures
Wrist fracture surgery and wrist joint fracture treatment are required when bones are misaligned or involve joint surfaces. Wrist fractures treated at Bones Cure include distal radius fracture, scaphoid fracture, Colle’s and Smith’s fracture. Proper alignment prevents future arthritis.
Hand & Finger Fractures
Hand fracture surgery and finger and thumb fracture treatment restore fine motor movement and grip strength. Dr. Waqas expertly treats metacarpal fractures, including boxers' fracture and Bennett's fracture. He also provides successful treatment for phalangeal fractures, including proximal and distal phalanx fractures, as well as mallet finger fractures.
Distal Humerus Fractures
A distal humerus fracture is a serious and often complex injury to the lower end of the upper arm bone at the elbow. They are caused by high-energy trauma in young adults or falls in the elderly. Major symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and stiffness around the elbow. Surgery could be open reduction or internal fixation to restore joint function. Recovery of a distal humerus fracture usually takes 3-6 months
Special & Complex Fractures
Whether simple or complex, we offer treatment for fractures of all types, including compound fractures, joint fractures, multi-fragment fractures, fracture dislocations, pediatric growth plate fractures, and trauma-related injuries that require expert surgical planning.
Comprehensive Fracture Care for All Parts of the Upper Limb
Complicated or complex fractures need surgery for proper treatment. At Bones Cure, we provide expert surgical solutions for all of your upper limb fractures. Our internationally trained orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Waqas Javed, has handled many upper limb fracture surgeries. Bones Cure clinic has also facilitated hundreds of upper limb surgery patients with excellent outcomes. Common upper limb fracture surgeries include:
Shoulder Fracture
If there is a break in the shoulder area (collarbone or upper arm bone) and you experience symptoms such as severe shoulder pain, swelling, and difficulty lifting your arm. Then you might need surgery to correct the shoulder fracture.
Upper Arm Fracture
Common symptoms of severe upper arm fracture include arm pain, deformity, swelling, and limited movement. This indicates a break in the main arm bone (humerus). Only a specialist can correct it through surgery.
Finger Fracture
A break in one of the finger bones can cause finger swelling, a crooked finger, and stiffness. If not treated properly, the bone may align incorrectly, leading to a deformity. Bones Cure provides expert finger fracture surgery to properly align the finger bones.
Forearm Fracture
If you experience forearm pain, visible deformity, or difficulty rotating the wrist after an accident or a fall. Then you might have fractured your forearm bone (radius or ulna). These fractures need expert evaluation, so you should consult an expert for proper treatment.
Thumb Fracture
Common symptoms associated with a break in the thumb bone or base joint include thumb pain, swelling, and difficulty holding objects. Thumb fracture surgery restores thumb mobility and hand function.
Hand Fracture
It is often characterized by hand swelling, pain while gripping, and bruising of the hand. Treatment depends on the complexity of the fracture. Open and compound hand fractures need surgery.
Growth Plate Fracture
This fracture affects the growth plates in children. Symptoms are pain near joints, swelling, and limited movement. Children need special care because their bones are delicate and only a specialist can handle them.
Elbow Fracture
This is basically a break around the elbow joint snd it causes elbow swelling, stiffness, and pain while bending or straightening. An elbow fracture is corrected through surgery if it is complicated.
Clavicle Fracture
This fracture means that there is a break in the bone connecting the shoulder to the chest. It is also called a collarbone fracture. Signs associated with a clavicle fracture are shoulder pain, a visible bump, and arm weakness.
Wrist Fracture
These are the most common type of upper limb fracture. The symptoms of the wrist fracture include pain in the wrist, swelling, weak grip, deformity, and a break near the wrist joint. They might need surgery to heal properly, & you can have lifelong complications if you don’t consult an expert.
All of the above fractures that require surgery can be handled in four different ways, which are mentioned here:
1. Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF): Metal plates and screws are used to align and stabilize broken bones.
2. Intramedullary Nailing: A rod is inserted inside the bone for stabilization.
3. External Fixation: Used in complex or open fractures where temporary stabilization is required.
4. Joint Reconstruction Surgery: Performed in elbow joint fracture treatment or wrist joint fracture treatment when cartilage is involved.
