Fracture symptoms can vary, but common descriptions include:

Sharp, Intense Pain

Sudden and severe pain at the injury site and being unable to bear weight on the area.

Swelling and Bruising

The affected area will become swollen, tender, and discoloured.

Deformity or Visible Bump

Sometimes the bone may look misshapen or deformed.

Difficulty Moving or Bearing Weight

Limited use of the injured limb or joint due to pain or instability.

Numbness or Tingling

If nerves are affected, you may feel unusual sensations around the injury.

Types of Fractures Dr Chua Treats

Collarbone Fracture

A common injury from falls or impact, causing pain across the shoulder and limited arm movement.

Fracture Treatments Provided by Dr Chua

Non-Surgical Management

Some fractures heal well with casting, bracing, or splinting combined with pain control and physiotherapy.

For complex or unstable fractures, surgery may involve plates, screws, or rods to realign and stabilise bones.

Rehabilitation Support

Physical therapy is key for restoring strength and mobility after immobilisation or surgery.

When to See a Fracture Specialist?

If you experience sudden severe pain after an injury, swelling, difficulty moving the affected limb, or if pain persists despite rest, it’s important to get evaluated. Early treatment can prevent complications and improve recovery outcomes.

Consider seeing a fracture specialist if you notice:

Persistent or worsening pain after a fall or trauma
Inability to bear weight or use the injured area
Visible deformity or numbness
History of osteoporosis or fragility fractures
