Fracture Treatment Hospital in Himatnagar
A fracture is a break in a bone, usually after a fall, road accident or sports injury. Some fractures heal well in a plaster or splint, while others need surgery to fix the bone with plates, screws or nails. Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar treats fractures 24×7, with X-ray and 128-slice CT on site and Class 100 OTs for fracture surgery.
Understanding the Condition
What Is a Fracture?
A fracture happens when the force on a bone is more than it can bear. It can be a simple crack or a complete break, and the bone pieces may stay in line or move apart. In an open (compound) fracture, the bone breaks through the skin and needs urgent surgery. Elderly people with weak bones can break a hip or wrist even after a small fall.
Common Causes
- Road accidents
- Falls – from height or at home
- Sports and gym injuries
- Weak bones (osteoporosis) in older adults
- Repeated stress on a bone (stress fracture)

Common Questions
Fracture FAQs
How long does a fracture take to heal?
Most fractures take about 6–12 weeks to heal, depending on the bone, your age and the type of break. Full strength may take longer with physiotherapy.
Does every fracture need surgery?
No. Many fractures heal well in a plaster or splint. Surgery is needed when the bone pieces are out of place, unstable or involve a joint.
Are plates and screws removed later?
Usually not. They are made of body-safe metal and can stay for life, unless they cause discomfort.
Is fracture treatment available at night?
Yes. Pluto Hospital’s emergency and trauma care is open 24×7, with X-ray, CT and OTs on site.
What should I do immediately after a suspected fracture?
Keep the limb still, support it with a splint or folded cloth, apply ice wrapped in cloth and come to emergency. Don’t try to straighten it.
