Trauma & Fracture Surgery
Prompt, precise care for fractures and orthopaedic injuries by Dr. M. Hari Sivanandan — from stabilisation and fixation to rehabilitation, so you can recover and move safely again.
What is orthopaedic trauma?
Orthopaedic trauma covers injuries to the bones, joints and soft tissues — most often fractures (broken bones) and dislocations caused by falls, road accidents, sports and, in older adults, minor injuries to weakened bone. Prompt, accurate treatment protects function and supports the best possible recovery.
Fractures we treat
- Simple and complex fractures of the arm, leg, hand and foot
- Fractures around joints, and combined injuries
- Hip and long-bone fractures
- Osteoporotic (low-trauma) fractures in older adults
- Dislocations and soft-tissue injuries
Treatment options
Non-surgical care
Many stable fractures heal well with a cast or brace, pain control and monitored recovery.
Surgical care
Unstable or displaced fractures, or those involving a joint, may need fixation with plates, screws or nails to restore alignment and allow early, safe movement.
Recovery & rehabilitation
Recovery is guided by a structured plan of protected movement, physiotherapy and follow-up to restore strength, function and confidence. Most fractures heal over several weeks, with rehabilitation continuing after the bone unites.
Why prompt care matters
Early, accurate treatment reduces complications and supports the best possible recovery. Dr. Sivanandan provides prompt assessment, a clear plan and attentive follow-up at every stage.
Frequently asked questions
No. Many fractures heal well without surgery using a cast or brace. Surgery is used when a fracture is unstable, displaced or involves a joint.
As soon as possible. Prompt assessment reduces pain, prevents complications and helps healing. For a suspected fracture, seek orthopaedic care urgently.
Most fractures heal over 6–12 weeks, though this varies with the bone, the injury and your general health. Rehabilitation continues after the bone unites.
Keep the limb still and supported, avoid putting weight on it, and seek orthopaedic care promptly. Do not attempt to straighten a deformed limb.
