What is a fracture?
A fracture is a break or crack in the bone. To be diagnosed with a fracture, your doctor can refer you to do an X-ray. Results from the X-ray can help determine the type of fracture and best approach in managing the fracture, e.g. fibre glass casting.
Our Physiotherapists are trained to provide ð°ððððŦðĐðŦðĻðĻð ððĒððŦð ð ðĨððŽðŽ ðððŽððĒð§ð – where possible. As for the lower limb, they are able to provide you with camboots, post op shoes and walking aids. This treatment strategy supports the three phases of bone healing: inflammatory, reparative, and remodelling (while also reducing the likelihood of complications).
Benefits of Fibre Glass Casting
- Light material
- Can be x-rayed without removal for scan
- Good for ventilation and drainage
- Some fibre glass casting can be made waterproof and is light which allows for daily activities such as showering, washing, and swimming
Your treating Physiotherapist will also create a personalised rehabilitation plan during and post fracture management to maintain joint and muscle function, to improve your overall prognosis! ð
