Led by Dr. Rajendra Abhyankar (39+ years) with Dr. Nikhil Mahajan — prompt, expert care for broken bones, dislocations and orthopaedic emergencies.
A broken bone needs the right treatment at the right time. Whether it is a simple fracture that heals in a cast or a complex one that needs fixing with plates and screws, early and accurate care decides how well and how fast the bone heals. At Purva Hospital, our own X-ray unit and operation theatre mean a fracture can be assessed and treated under one roof.
While you travel to hospital, keep the injured part still and supported and avoid trying to straighten it. Our guide on emergency fracture care explains the first-aid steps in detail.
We begin with a quick examination and an X-ray in our in-house digital X-ray unit, so the type and position of the fracture are clear within a short time. Where surgery is needed, it is carried out in our fully equipped operation theatre, with our pathology laboratory and pharmacy close at hand. We explain the plan, the expected recovery and the rehabilitation in plain words, and our billing team assists insured patients with cashless claims.
Severe pain, swelling, deformity and being unable to use the limb suggest a fracture, but only an X-ray can confirm it. If you are unsure after an injury, it is safest to have it examined and X-rayed promptly.
No. Many fractures heal well with a cast or splint. Surgery with plates, screws or rods is advised when the bone is badly displaced, the break involves a joint, or it cannot be held in position otherwise. We explain which option suits your injury and why.
Healing time depends on the bone, the type of fracture, your age and general health. Many fractures need several weeks to a few months, and children usually heal faster than adults. Your doctor will review progress with follow-up X-rays and guide you on when to start movement and physiotherapy.
Cover depends on your policy, but Purva Hospital offers hassle-free cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team assists throughout.
