Fractures and traumatic bone injuries require immediate and expert management to ensure proper healing, prevent complications, and restore full function. Dr. Shahrukh Khan was trained at Lok Nayak Hospital and Sushruta Trauma Centre â two of Delhi's busiest and most complex trauma centres â where he managed hundreds of high-energy fractures and polytrauma cases.

Treatment Approaches
Conservative: Plaster cast, splint, or functional bracing for stable fractures
ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation): Plates, screws, or nails to stabilise complex fractures
IM Nailing: Intramedullary nail for long bone fractures (femur, tibia, humerus)
External Fixation: For open (compound) fractures and staged management
Hip Hemiarthroplasty: For hip fractures in elderly patients
Frequently Asked Questions
Only an X-ray can confirm a fracture. Signs suggesting fracture include: severe localised pain, swelling, deformity, inability to move the limb, or a snap sensation at the time of injury. Always get an X-ray after significant trauma.
Healing time varies by bone and fracture severity. Wrist fractures: 6â8 weeks. Ankle fractures: 6â12 weeks. Hip fractures with surgery: full weight-bearing in 6â12 weeks. Femoral shaft: 3â4 months. Age, nutrition and health also affect healing speed.
No. Many fractures heal well with a plaster cast or brace. Surgery is needed when bones are displaced, unstable, involve a joint surface, or when early mobilisation is required (e.g., hip fractures in the elderly).
