Fractures can occur anywhere from the hand and wrist to the spine to the foot and ankle. When a fracture occurs, it is important to see an orthopedist soon after the injury, because fractures begin to heal themselves soon after the initial break. An orthopedist needs to be able to assess the fracture, before it starts to heal, in order to create a plan for the bone to heal correctly. Treatments such as using a brace or possibly even surgery, may be used to treat the fracture. ArthritisArthritis is a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
