Fracture Care

James P. Davies, MD, provides evaluation and individualized care for fractures, including broken wrists, long bones, and collarbones. Your treatment depends on the location and stability of the injury, your health, and your activity needs.

Long Bone Fractures

A long bone fracture is a break in one of the major bones of the arm or leg. Injuries can range from a small crack to a break that moves the bone out of position. Pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty using the limb should be assessed promptly after an injury.

Dr. Davies evaluates fractures and develops a treatment plan based on the bone involved, the position of the break, and your overall health. Care may include immobilization, realignment, surgical assessment, and rehabilitation. Follow-up visits help monitor healing and guide a safe return to activity.

Distal Radius Fractures (Broken Wrist)

A distal radius fracture is a break in the forearm bone near the wrist, often after a fall onto an outstretched hand. Pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty using the wrist are common symptoms.

An examination and X-rays help determine the fracture’s position and stability. Treatment may include a splint or cast, realignment of the bone, or surgery when needed. Dr. Davies develops a care plan based on the injury and your needs, with follow-up to monitor healing and guide your return to activity.

Clavicle Fractures (Broken Collarbone)

The clavicle connects the breastbone to the shoulder. A fall or direct impact can break this bone, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty lifting the arm.

Many clavicle fractures can heal with a sling and follow-up care. A fracture that is substantially displaced, involves an open wound, or has other complications may need surgery. Dr. Davies evaluates the injury, explains the available treatment options, and guides rehabilitation as healing progresses.

Elbow, Foot & Ankle Fractures

Dr. Davies also evaluates elbow fractures and provides complex foot and ankle fracture care. Learn about elbow fractures, or explore our foot and ankle care.

Seek prompt medical care after a suspected fracture. An open wound, a visibly deformed limb, or a cold, pale, or numb hand or foot needs urgent assessment.
