What Is Fracture Surgery?
A fracture is more than a broken bone. It can disrupt your work, your daily routine and your independence, and the right treatment in the first few hours often decides how well and how fast you heal. At Prakash Hospital in Noida, Dr. Mayank Chauhan offers complete fracture and trauma care, from undisplaced cracks managed with a cast to multi-fragment injuries that need careful surgical reconstruction.
With more than 15 years of experience and an international fellowship in orthopaedics, Dr. Mayank Chauhan has treated thousands of fracture and trauma patients across all age groups. Every case is assessed individually using clinical examination and modern imaging, so the chosen approach, whether surgical or non-surgical, fits the specific fracture pattern, the patient's age and their activity level.
The goal of treatment is never just to join the bone. It is to restore correct alignment, protect surrounding nerves and blood vessels, and rebuild the strength and movement you had before the injury. Backed by Prakash Hospital's operation theatres, imaging and intensive care facilities, patients in Noida receive prompt, well-planned trauma management under one roof.
What Conditions Does Fracture Surgery Help With?
Dr. Mayank Chauhan manages the full range of fractures, from straightforward breaks to complicated, high-energy injuries.
01
Closed & Simple Fractures
These are clean breaks where the skin remains intact and the bone stays in reasonable alignment. Many heal well with a cast or brace, while some need a minor surgical fixation for stability.
02
Compound (Open) Fractures
Here the broken bone pierces the skin, raising the risk of infection and requiring urgent care. Treatment combines thorough wound cleaning, antibiotics and prompt surgical stabilisation.
03
Comminuted & Complex Fractures
The bone shatters into several fragments, often from road accidents or falls from a height. These demand precise reconstruction with plates, screws or rods to restore the original shape.
04
Hip & Femur Fractures
Common in elderly patients after a fall and in younger patients after major trauma. Early surgery such as nailing or hip replacement helps restore mobility and prevent bed-rest complications.
05
Wrist, Hand & Ankle Fractures
Injuries to these small, mobile joints need accurate alignment to protect grip and walking. Dr. Mayank Chauhan treats them with casting or fine fixation depending on displacement.
06
Spine & Pelvic Fractures
These serious injuries can affect nerves, stability and internal organs. They are carefully assessed and managed with bracing or specialised surgery within Prakash Hospital's trauma setup.
What Are the Types of Fracture Surgery?
01
Casting & Bracing
For stable, well-aligned fractures, a plaster cast or functional brace supports the bone while it heals naturally. This non-surgical route is preferred whenever it gives a reliable result.
02
Closed Reduction
The bone is realigned without an incision, often under sedation or anaesthesia, and then held with a cast. It is used when fragments can be brought back into position from outside.
03
Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF)
The fracture is exposed surgically, aligned precisely and held with plates and screws. This gives strong, stable fixation that allows earlier movement of nearby joints.
04
Intramedullary Nailing
A metal rod is inserted into the central canal of long bones such as the femur or tibia. It provides excellent internal support and lets many patients bear weight sooner.
05
External Fixation
Pins are placed in the bone and connected to a frame outside the body, stabilising severe or open fractures. It is often a first step before definitive surgery once swelling and wounds settle.
06
Joint Replacement for Fractures
When a fracture severely damages a joint, particularly the hip in older patients, replacement may be the best option. It restores pain-free movement and avoids the risks of prolonged immobility.
What Happens During Fracture Surgery?
From the first assessment to a stabilised, healing bone, every stage is handled with care and clear communication.
01
Step 01
Emergency evaluation and pain relief, with stabilisation of the injured limb and overall condition.
02
Step 02
Detailed imaging using X-rays and, where needed, CT scans to understand the exact fracture pattern.
03
Step 03
A clear discussion of surgical and non-surgical options, expected outcomes and recovery time.
04
Step 04
Reduction and fixation, either through casting or a precise surgical procedure under anaesthesia.
05
Step 05
Post-treatment monitoring for alignment, wound healing, swelling and any sign of complications.
06
Step 06
A personalised rehabilitation plan to rebuild strength, movement and confidence in the limb.
What Is the Recovery Timeline After Fracture Surgery?
| Stage | What to expect |
|---|---|
| First 1-2 weeks | rest, elevation, swelling control and protected movement to settle the injury. |
| Weeks 3-6 | gradual, guided physiotherapy begins as the bone starts to unite and stiffness is reduced. |
| Weeks 6-12 | progressive weight-bearing and strengthening, with follow-up X-rays to confirm healing. |
| 3-6 months | most patients return to routine and work activities as strength and movement improve. |
| Long term | continued conditioning and periodic review to ensure complete, lasting functional recovery. |

Medical Health Tips & Info
Essential tips for joint care, injury prevention, and post-surgery recovery
Joint Care
Maintaining healthy joints requires regular low-impact exercise, proper nutrition, and weight management. Strengthening the muscles around your joints provides better support and reduces wear over time.
Injury Prevention
Warm up before physical activities, use proper form during exercise, and wear appropriate protective gear. Early attention to minor aches can prevent them from becoming serious orthopaedic conditions.
Post-Surgery Recovery
Follow your rehabilitation plan consistently, attend all follow-up appointments, and communicate any concerns with your doctor. Patience and commitment to physical therapy are key to optimal recovery outcomes.

No, many fractures heal well without surgery using a cast or brace, especially when the bone is stable and well aligned. Surgery is advised only when the fracture is displaced, unstable or involves a joint. Dr. Mayank Chauhan recommends the least invasive option that gives a strong, lasting result.
You should seek care as quickly as possible, ideally within the first few hours, as early treatment improves alignment and healing. Open fractures, severe pain, numbness or deformity are medical emergencies. Prakash Hospital in Noida provides prompt trauma assessment for such injuries.
Most fractures unite within 6 to 12 weeks, though the exact time depends on the bone involved, the severity of the break and your age and health. Some complex injuries take longer and need closer follow-up. Dr. Mayank Chauhan monitors healing with regular reviews and X-rays.
In many cases the implants are designed to stay permanently and cause no problems. Removal is considered only if they cause irritation, infection or discomfort, or in certain younger patients. This decision is made together once the bone has fully healed.
The procedure itself is performed under anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain during surgery, and post-operative discomfort is well controlled with medication. Anaesthesia is given by trained specialists and is safe for most patients after proper assessment. Any specific risks are explained to you beforehand.
Light, routine activities often resume within a few weeks, while physically demanding work and sports may take a few months. The timeline depends on the fracture, the treatment performed and your progress in rehabilitation. Dr. Mayank Chauhan gives clear, stage-wise guidance on safe return to activity.
