Fractures
Orthopaedic surgeons have expertise in the treatment of fractured (broken) bones, particularly in the assessment of damage that may have occurred around the fracture.
Follow-up of a fracture may involve monitoring the progress of the healing bone, checking the position of the bone in a cast and deciding when other steps in management such as re-manipulation of the fracture or removal of a cast is required.
