Fractures, dislocations and injuries from falls, sports or accidents, treated by a trauma and orthopedic surgeon with more than 35 years of experience.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Nicolás Zarur · Updated October 2026
A fracture or dislocation needs fast and precise treatment: how a bone is aligned and fixed in the first days determines how well you’ll move later. Dr. Zarur treats injuries from falls, sports and accidents, from simple fractures to complex cases. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Including radius and scaphoid fractures after a fall on an outstretched hand.
Common in older adults after a fall. Early surgery helps them walk again sooner.
Shoulder, elbow, finger or kneecap dislocations that need prompt, safe reduction.
Dr. Zarur examines the injury, checks circulation and nerves, and orders X-rays or a CT scan when needed. Then he explains whether the fracture can heal with a cast or needs surgery.
Immobilization
Casts, splints or braces for stable, well-aligned fractures.
Closed reduction
Putting the bone or joint back in place without surgery, under anesthesia when needed.
Surgical fixation
Plates, screws or nails to hold displaced fractures in the right position while they heal.
Rehabilitation
Physical therapy to recover strength and motion, and return to work or sport.
Most fractures heal in 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the bone, your age and your health. Full recovery of strength can take longer.
No. Many heal with a cast or splint. Surgery is recommended when the bone is out of place, unstable or involves a joint.
Immobilize the area, apply ice, elevate it and don’t try to put the bone back in place yourself. Get evaluated as soon as possible.
