Risk Factors

⚠️ Risk Factors for Bone Fractures

Understand What Increases Your Risk of Breaking a Bone

A bone fracture can happen to anyone—but certain conditions or lifestyles can make your bones weaker or more vulnerable to injury. Recognizing these risk factors helps in both prevention and early diagnosis.

🔍 Key Risk Factors for Fractures:

🦴 1. Age-Related Bone Loss

• Elderly individuals are at higher risk due to conditions like osteoporosis, which causes bones to become weak and brittle.
• Post-menopausal women face higher risks due to declining estrogen levels.

🧬 2. Medical Conditions

• Osteoporosis or Osteopenia
• Bone Cancer or Metastasis
• Arthritis
• Diabetes
• Vitamin D or Calcium Deficiency
• Thyroid disorders

⚠️ 3. Trauma or Accidents

• Road traffic accidents
• Falls (especially in the elderly)
• Sports injuries
• Workplace injuries

💪 4. Weak Muscle Mass or Poor Balance

• Muscular weakness or neurological issues (e.g., Parkinsons, stroke) can increase the chance of falling and breaking bones.

💊 5. Medications that Affect Bone Health

• Long-term use of steroids, anti-seizure meds, or chemotherapy drugs may weaken bones.

🍺 6. Lifestyle-Related Risk Factors

• Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption reduce bone strength
• Poor diet low in calcium and vitamin D
• Lack of physical activity or weight-bearing exercise
• Being underweight (especially in women)

👶 7. Childhood Growth Spurts & Genetic Disorders

• Children are also prone to fractures during active play or growth phases
• Conditions like osteogenesis imperfecta can cause fragile bones

🧠 Can These Risks Be Managed?

✅ Yes! With a healthy diet, exercise, fall prevention, and regular check-ups, many fractures can be prevented—especially in high-risk individuals.

👨‍⚕️ If you’re at high risk or already have a fracture, MediKaya Healthcare helps connect you to top orthopedic surgeons in India for expert diagnosis and affordable surgical care.

Procedure

🛠️ Fracture Repair Procedure in India

Expert Surgical Treatment for Broken Bones
🌏 Assisted by MediKaya Healthcare – Your Trusted Medical Tourism Partner

🏥 What is Fracture Repair Surgery?

Fracture repair surgery (also known as Open Reduction and Internal Fixation – ORIF) is a procedure to realign broken bones and secure them using implants like screws, rods, plates, or pins.

This surgery is essential for complex fractures, bones that won’t heal properly on their own, or open fractures (where bone breaks through the skin).

⚙️ Step-by-Step Fracture Repair Procedure

🛏️ 1. Anesthesia Administration

• The surgery is done under general anesthesia (you’re asleep) or regional anesthesia (numbs a specific body part).
• Type of anesthesia depends on the location and severity of the fracture.

🧼 2. Sterile Surgical Preparation

• The area is cleaned and sterilized.
• A surgical drape is placed to maintain a sterile field.

🧩 3. Incision & Exposure of Bone

• The surgeon makes a precise incision over the fracture site.
• Surrounding tissues are gently moved aside to expose the broken bone.

🛠️ 4. Bone Realignment (Reduction)

• The surgeon carefully realigns the fractured bone fragments into their natural position.

🔩 5. Internal Fixation

• The bone is secured with medical implants such as:
  • Plates & Screws – Common for arm, leg, or jaw fractures
  • Intramedullary Rods or Nails – Inserted into long bones like the femur
  • Pins or Wires – For small or complex fragments

🧵 6. Closure

• Once the bone is fixed, the surgical site is closed using sutures or staples.
• A sterile bandage is applied to cover the wound.

🩹 7. Immobilization

• A cast, splint, or brace may be applied to support healing.
• Painkillers, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed.

⏱️ Duration of Surgery:

Typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the fracture.

🔄 What Happens After Surgery?

• You will be moved to a recovery room for observation
• Most patients start physiotherapy within a few days to regain mobility
• Hospital stay is usually between 2 to 5 days

⚠️ Not all fractures need surgery. Some can be treated with casting or external fixation. Our partner surgeons will advise the best option for you after imaging tests.
