Assessment after a fracture or bone injury

Fractures and other orthopaedic injuries vary. A consultation may review how the injury happened, symptoms, movement, relevant health history and any imaging already completed. Further examination or investigations may be recommended when appropriate.

Care is based on the individual injury

Management can differ according to the type, location and stability of an injury. Your orthopaedic clinician can explain the available options, follow-up needs and expected next steps after assessment. Some injuries may be managed without an operation; others may need a discussion about a procedure. No outcome or recovery timeline can be guaranteed.

What to bring to your appointment

  • Existing X-rays, scans and reports, if available
  • Details of any treatment or support already provided
  • A list of medicines, allergies and relevant medical conditions
  • Questions about movement, work, sport and follow-up
