Dr Chetan Wankhede as a Best Trauma Surgeon in Thane and Mumbai opens up his views on type of fractures and its treatment. Fracture repair is necessary, if there is a chance for restoration and functioning of the broken bone. During the whole process of fracture healing, it is necessary that bones are firmly kept in correct position. In case the fracture is not healed properly, there is a chance for occurrence of malalignment in the bones that results in physical dysfunction of the bone or in the joints.

Trauma surgery specialty deals with operative and non operative / conservative management for traumatic injuries to bones, muscles, tendon and nerve. Depending upon type and nature of fracture (displaced / non-displaced) treatment can vary from plaster / cast / splint to open reduction and fixation with plate and screw or intramedullary nailing and repair of tendon, muscle and nerve. Line of management also depend upon patient age and co morbidities.
