Fracture Treatment
Fracture Treatment Surgery in Hawaii
Surgical fracture treatment addresses unstable, displaced, or complex fractures of the foot and ankle. The goal is to restore anatomy, alignment, and joint congruity to allow proper healing and function.
How Surgery Is Performed
Fracture treatment typically involves open reduction and internal fixation, using plates, screws, or other fixation devices to stabilize the fracture. The specific technique depends on fracture location and severity.
Goals of surgery include:
Restoring normal bone alignment
Stabilizing the fracture for healing
Preserving joint motion when possible
Reducing risk of long-term complications
Recovery After Surgery
Recovery depends on fracture location and severity.
Typical recovery progression includes:
Immobilization and protected or non–weight bearing
Gradual progression to full weight bearing as healing progresses
Physical therapy focused on restoring motion, strength, and gait
Return to daily activities over weeks to months
Risks and Considerations
Risks include infection, stiffness, nonunion, hardware irritation, and post-traumatic arthritis. Careful surgical planning and rehabilitation are essential.
