Questions from North Richland Hills patients.
Is a fracture the same as a broken bone?
Yes. In medicine, "fracture" and "broken bone" describe the exact same injury — a break in a bone, of any severity.
How long does a fracture take to heal?
It depends on the bone and severity. Fingers and toes often heal in 3–6 weeks, a wrist in 6–8 weeks, and larger bones like the tibia or femur can take several months.
What is a compound fracture?
A compound (or open) fracture is one where the broken bone pierces the skin. It's a medical emergency because of the high infection risk and needs immediate care.
Can urgent care treat a fracture?
Most urgent care clinics can X-ray a simple fracture but can't reduce a displaced fracture, manage a compound fracture, or provide IV pain control. For anything beyond a minor injury, come to the ER.
Do you cast fractures on-site or refer out?
We splint or cast stable fractures the same visit. For fractures needing surgery or specialist follow-up, we provide a same-day orthopedic referral.
