What is the cost of fracture surgery in Bhopal?
Fracture surgery cost depends on the type and location of the fracture, the implants used, and the length of hospital stay. R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri offers affordable orthopaedic care with cashless insurance options. Call 0755-4260605 for details.
How long does a fracture take to heal?
Simple fractures typically heal in 6-8 weeks, while complex fractures may take 3-6 months. Children heal faster than adults. Proper immobilisation, nutrition (calcium and vitamin D), and following doctor's advice at R.K. Hospital ensures optimal healing.
When does a fracture need surgery?
Surgery is needed for displaced fractures (bones not aligned), open fractures, fractures near joints, fractures that cannot be held in place with a cast, and fractures that fail to heal with conservative treatment. Our team at R.K. Hospital evaluates each case to determine the best approach.
What should I do immediately after a fracture?
Immobilise the injured area, apply ice wrapped in cloth to reduce swelling, elevate the limb if possible, and visit the nearest hospital. Do not try to straighten a deformed limb. Bring the patient to R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri for immediate X-ray and treatment.
