Fractures
FRACTURE CLINIC
Our Fracture Clinic specializes in the diagnosis, management and treatment of new fractures. Fracture is the medical term for a broken bone. Children and teenagers are not just small adults; their growing bones have special needs and require careful attention to avoid potential complications. We are experts in evaluating growing bones and knowing how they will respond to injuries.
