How to File a Personal Injury Claim in Georgia (Part B)

When a Serious Accident Results in Broken Bones (Part B)

Treatment for Broken Bones

The initial treatment for broken bones generally includes immobilizing the injured part of the body. Limbs that have suffered broken bones will require a splint or cast.

However in some cases surgery will be required. This can be very costly and affect an individual's ability to participate in normal daily activities or to be able to work at their occupation.

Some broken bones will require metal hardware be inserted in order to hold them together in place. This is known as closed reduction surgery. In open reduction surgery pins, rods or plates are used to help hold the bones together until they properly heal.

Depending on the circumstances of the injury, metal pieces that are inserted will either remain in place permanently or they may be surgically removed at later time.

In bone fracture repair surgery screws, nails, pins or plates are used. Bone grafts may also be necessary in order to help aid the healing.
