Fractures can occur in any bone of the body, causing pain, swelling, and immobility. Fractures can occur in people of all ages due to slip-and-fall incidents, car accidents, sports injuries, and any other traumatic impact. A fracture of any kind requires immediate medical attention to determine the extent of the injury and rule out the possibility of any other underlying problems, such as internal bleeding. In most cases, acute fractures can be managed and treated at a local urgent care center without the need for surgery or highly invasive treatment.
If you suspect…
you may have a fracture or break, do not attempt to reset or straighten the bone yourself. Doing so could make the injury even worse. Instead, take steps to immobilize the affected limb using either a splint and bandage or a sling. Apply ice to the injury to control swelling and help manage pain until you are able to get to your nearest urgent care center.
The only way to know for sure if you have a fractured bone is by getting an x-ray, MRI, bone scan, or some other diagnostic imaging test. However, there are some signs of fracture that signal the need for urgent care. They include visible deformity, pain that worsens under pressure, swelling, bruising, or loss of limb function.
