Many patients delay treatment after fractures, especially when pain seems manageable. However, untreated or improperly treated fractures can lead to malunion, chronic pain, deformity, and loss of function.

Early orthopaedic evaluation ensures proper alignment, stabilization, and healing. High-risk fractures, especially in elderly patients or accident victims, may require surgical fixation and ICU monitoring.

Timely intervention not only restores mobility but also prevents long-term complications that affect independence and quality of life.
