Bone Frac­ture Spe­cia­list in Vienna

Bone Frac­ture Spe­cia­list in Vienna.

Ex­pert tre­at­ment by your or­tho­pe­dic sur­geon and traumatologist.

Bone frac­tures of­ten re­sult from di­rect or in­di­rect force, such as ac­ci­dents, falls, or im­pacts to the af­fec­ted bone. In ad­di­tion to these ex­ter­nal fac­tors, con­di­ti­ons like os­teo­po­ro­sis or bone tu­mors can also lead to frac­tures. The wrist, shoulder joint, col­lar­bone, hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint are par­ti­cu­larly fre­quently affected. 

The choice of tre­at­ment de­pends on the lo­ca­tion and ext­ent of the frac­ture and can be eit­her con­ser­va­tive or sur­gi­cal. Non-dis­pla­ced frac­tures are of­ten suc­cessfully trea­ted with casts or splints. Ho­we­ver, if the frac­ture is more com­plex and the bone ends are no lon­ger in cont­act, sur­gi­cal fix­a­tion may be ne­ces­sary to en­sure the best pos­si­ble healing. 

I would be plea­sed to ad­vise you com­pre­hen­si­vely on your pos­si­ble the­rapy op­ti­ons and de­ve­lop a cus­to­mi­zed tre­at­ment tail­o­red to your spe­ci­fic needs. My goal is to res­tore your mo­bi­lity as quickly as pos­si­ble and achieve com­plete healing. 

As an ex­pe­ri­en­ced or­tho­pe­dic sur­geon and trauma sur­geon in Vi­enna, I of­fer you spe­cia­li­zed tre­at­ment op­ti­ons for all ty­pes of bone fractures.

Dia­gno­sis and Tre­at­ment of Bone Frac­tures (Frac­ture)

As an ex­pe­ri­en­ced trauma sur­geon in Vi­enna and a spe­cia­list in bone frac­tures, I place great im­portance on ac­cu­rate dia­gno­sis and in­di­vi­dua­li­zed the­rapy plan­ning. The dia­gno­sis be­g­ins with a com­pre­hen­sive cli­ni­cal ex­ami­na­tion and me­di­cal history, du­ring which I pre­cis­ely re­cord the ac­ci­dent se­quence and sym­ptoms. To ac­cu­ra­tely lo­cate and as­sess the frac­ture, I uti­lize state-of-the-art ima­ging tech­ni­ques such as X‑rays, com­pu­ted to­mo­gra­phy (CT), and ma­gne­tic re­so­nance ima­ging (MRI). These tech­ni­ques al­low even com­plex frac­tures to be dis­played in detail. 

The tre­at­ment of bone frac­tures de­pends on the type, lo­ca­tion, and se­ve­rity of the frac­ture. For sta­ble, non-dis­pla­ced frac­tures, con­ser­va­tive the­rapy is of­ten suf­fi­ci­ent. This in­cludes im­mo­bi­liza­tion with casts or splints to hold the bone in the cor­rect po­si­tion and pro­mote na­tu­ral he­al­ing. Phy­sio­the­rapy sup­ports the he­al­ing pro­cess and helps main­tain mobility. 

“In­di­vi­dua­li­zed tre­at­ment stra­te­gies for op­ti­mal healing.”

For more com­plex frac­tures, espe­ci­ally when the bone ends are dis­pla­ced or bro­ken into mul­ti­ple frag­ments, sur­gi­cal tre­at­ment is ne­ces­sary. Using mi­ni­mally in­va­sive sur­gi­cal tech­ni­ques, I im­plant de­vices such as screws, pla­tes, or nails to sta­bly fix the bo­nes and en­sure cor­rect he­al­ing. These pro­ce­du­res mi­ni­mize the risk of com­pli­ca­ti­ons and shor­ten re­co­very time. 

FAQs

What is a bone frac­ture?

A bone frac­ture, also known as a frac­ture, oc­curs when a bone breaks due to ex­ces­sive stress or a strong im­pact. This can be cau­sed by ac­ci­dents, falls, or con­di­ti­ons such as os­teo­po­ro­sis. A bone frac­ture re­qui­res pro­fes­sio­nal dia­gno­sis and tre­at­ment by a spe­cia­list to en­sure com­plete healing. 

What ty­pes of bone frac­tures are there?

There are se­ve­ral ty­pes of bone frac­tures, including:

  • Simple frac­ture: A sin­gle break in the bone.
  • Com­mi­nu­ted frac­ture: The bone is bro­ken in mul­ti­ple places.
  • Open frac­ture: The bro­ken bone breaks th­rough the skin.
  • Clo­sed frac­ture: The frac­ture re­mains un­der the skin.
  • Trans­verse frac­ture: The frac­ture runs straight across the bone.
  • Spi­ral frac­ture: The frac­ture spi­rals around the bone.
  • Green­stick frac­ture: An in­com­plete frac­ture, com­mon in children.

Where do bone frac­tures most com­monly oc­cur?

Bone frac­tures can oc­cur in any bone in the body, but most com­monly in areas such as the wrist, fo­re­arm, col­lar­bone, hip, knee, and ankle. These areas are par­ti­cu­larly sus­cep­ti­ble to in­ju­ries from falls or di­rect impacts. 

What sym­ptoms in­di­cate a bone frac­ture?

Si­gns of a bone frac­ture can in­clude se­vere pain, swel­ling, brui­sing, vi­si­ble de­for­mi­ties, and li­mi­ted mo­bi­lity of the af­fec­ted area. In open frac­tures, the bro­ken bone may be vi­si­ble. A crack­ing or brea­king sound at the time of in­jury can also be an indication. 

How is a bone frac­ture trea­ted?

The tre­at­ment of a bone frac­ture de­pends on the type and se­ve­rity of the frac­ture. Con­ser­va­tive tre­at­ments in­clude im­mo­bi­li­zing the af­fec­ted area with casts or splints. For more com­plex frac­tures, sur­gery may be ne­ces­sary to fix the bo­nes with screws, pla­tes, or nails. Sub­se­quent phy­sio­the­rapy helps res­tore mo­bi­lity and bone strength. 

What makes an open frac­ture par­ti­cu­larly dan­ge­rous?

An open frac­ture is dan­ge­rous be­cause it in­crea­ses the risk of in­fec­tion. Bac­te­ria can en­ter th­rough the open wound and lead to se­rious in­fec­tions. Prompt me­di­cal at­ten­tion and of­ten sur­gery are ne­ces­sary to clean the wound, fix the bone, and pre­vent infection. 

How long does it take for a bone frac­ture to heal com­ple­tely?

The he­al­ing time of a bone frac­ture va­ries de­pen­ding on the type of frac­ture, the af­fec­ted bone, and the pa­ti­en­t’s ge­ne­ral he­alth. Ty­pi­cally, he­al­ing ta­kes six to twelve weeks. Re­gu­lar check-ups are im­portant to mo­ni­tor the he­al­ing progress. 

What role do me­di­ca­ti­ons and nut­ri­tion play in he­al­ing a bone frac­ture?

Me­di­ca­ti­ons such as pain­kil­lers and anti-in­flamm­a­tory drugs can re­li­eve pain and swel­ling and sup­port the he­al­ing pro­cess. A ba­lan­ced diet, rich in cal­cium and vit­amin D, pro­mo­tes bone he­alth and sup­ports he­al­ing. Pro­te­ins and other nut­ri­ents are also im­portant for tis­sue re­pair and bone reconstruction.
