About Diaphyseal Fracture

A diaphyseal fracture is a break in the main shaft (diaphysis) of a long bone, such as the femur, tibia, humerus, or radius. This orthopedic procedure involves the precise realignment and stabilization of the fractured bone segments to restore function and promote proper healing. Treatment options range from non-surgical methods like casting or bracing for simple fractures to surgical interventions such as intramedullary nailing, plating, or external fixation for complex or unstable breaks. The primary goals are to achieve anatomical alignment, ensure bone union, and facilitate a return to normal mobility and strength. This procedure is critical for preventing long-term complications like malunion, nonunion, or chronic pain.

Key Highlights

    Restores proper alignment and stability of the long bone.Promotes optimal healing to regain full strength and function.Reduces the risk of long-term complications like malunion or nonunion.Modern surgical techniques (like intramedullary nailing) allow for early mobilization.Tailored treatment plan based on fracture type, location, and patient health.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Displaced or unstable fractures where bone ends are not aligned.
  • Open fractures (bone breaks through the skin).
  • Comminuted fractures (bone shattered into multiple pieces).
  • Fractures involving joints or affecting limb length.
  • Failure of non-surgical treatment (e.g., cast) to maintain alignment.
  • Fractures in patients who require early mobility for overall health.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation and review of patient history.
  • Imaging studies: X-rays are standard; CT scans may be needed for complex fractures.
  • Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional) and associated risks.
  • Management of any medications; may need to stop blood thinners.
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
  • Planning for post-operative support and rehabilitation.

Risks & possible complications

  • Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
  • Damage to surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or muscles.

  • Complications from anesthesia.
  • Hardware irritation, failure, or need for future removal.
  • Delayed healing, nonunion (bone doesn't heal), or malunion (heals in poor position).
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the adjacent joint.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay for pain management and initial monitoring.
  • Limb will be elevated to reduce swelling.
  • Early, controlled movement as guided by the surgeon or physiotherapist.
  • Strict adherence to weight-bearing restrictions (non-weight bearing to partial).
  • A structured physiotherapy program to restore strength, flexibility, and function.
  • Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor healing progress.
  • Gradual return to normal activities over several months.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 3-7 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
