Treatment of broken bones without operations

The treatment of a broken bone without surgery is typically referred to as non-surgical or conservative management. This approach is commonly used for certain types of fractures that can heal adequately without the need for surgical intervention

1. ImmobilizationImmobilizing the affected area is crucial to ensure proper healing. This often involves the use of a cast, splint, or brace to keep the broken bone in place and prevent further damage. The type of immobilization used depends on the location and severity of the fracture.

2. Medication Pain management is an essential aspect of non-surgical treatment. Over-the-counter or prescription pain medications may be recommended to help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with the fracture.

3. Rest and elevationResting the affected area and keeping it elevated can help reduce swelling and promote healing. It is important to avoid putting weight or strain on the broken bone during the healing process.
