Treatment for Bone Fractures Near Fort Lauderdale

Innovative, Minimally-Invasive Fracture Treatment

Fractures are a common yet serious injury that can disrupt daily life and require prompt, effective care. A fracture occurs when there is a break in the continuity of a bone, often caused by trauma, overuse, or conditions that weaken the bones.

Unsure if you have a broken bone? Here are some of the most common signs:

Intense Pain: Immediate and severe pain at the site of the break
Swelling and Bruising: Noticeable swelling and discoloration around the affected area
Deformity: Visible changes in the alignment or shape of the limb
Inability to Move: Reduced or complete inability to move the affected limb comfortably

Some of the treatment options Dr. McCarthy offers include:

Immobilization: Using casts or splints to keep the bone in place during healing
Medication: Pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications to manage symptoms
Physical Therapy: Exercises to restore movement and strength once the bone begins to heal
Surgical Intervention: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to properly align and stabilize the bone using pins, plates, or screws

Dr. Kevin McCarthy is dedicated to providing comprehensive fracture care that combines innovative treatment options with compassionate patient support, ensuring a tailored approach for optimal recovery.
