About Joint Fracture

A joint fracture is a break in one or more bones that form a joint, such as the knee, shoulder, hip, or ankle. This orthopedic procedure involves the precise realignment (reduction) and stabilization of the broken bone fragments to restore the joint's normal anatomy and function. Treatment varies based on the fracture's severity and location, ranging from non-surgical methods like casting or splinting to surgical interventions such as internal fixation with plates, screws, or rods. The primary goals are to relieve pain, prevent joint stiffness, and enable a return to full mobility. Proper management by an orthopedic specialist is crucial to minimize the risk of long-term complications like arthritis or chronic instability.

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.
