Unfortunately for many active people, fractures, and sprains are common occurrences that can cause a lot of pain and discomfort, and stop you from living your everyday routine. Fractures involve a broken bone, while sprains are due to a torn or stretched ligament or tendon. Both injuries can be painful and debilitating, and require timely medical attention from an orthopedic expert to be healed effectively.

What are the next steps if I have a sprain or fracture?


One of the first steps to understand your fracture or sprain is through a diagnostic imaging procedure, such as an X-ray or MRI. These techniques allow our medical team to better understand your injury, and provide the appropriate treatment strategy from there. If you have a fracture, surgery may be necessary to reset the bone, or you may require rest and immobilization. For sprains, rest is required and may require surgery if it is a serious sprain. Dr. Soma will work with you to find the best medical solution for your fracture or sprain and guide you throughout the process so you understand your injury and the treatment options available. Our goal at NorthShore Orthopedics is to get you back in great shape as soon as possible and help you avoid pain and discomfort by providing the best possible orthopedic care.

How does a doctor identify and diagnose a fractured knee?


The first step in appropriately diagnosing a broken knee is a physical examination during which your doctor will feel the patella and evaluate any swelling or bruising that may be visible. The most important step will be to have x-rays taken of your knee, so Dr. Soma can see the extent of the fracturing in the bone.
