Expert fracture diagnosis and treatment — from simple breaks managed with casting to complex multi-fragment fractures requiring surgical fixation. Board-certified orthopedic surgeons. Same-week appointments in Orange County.
Fractures range from hairline stress fractures that heal with rest, to complex displaced fractures requiring precision surgical fixation. At Restore Orthopedics & Spine Center, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons evaluate and treat the full spectrum of fracture types — selecting the most appropriate treatment based on fracture pattern, location, patient age, activity level, and bone quality.
We offer on-site digital X-ray and CT scanning for same-visit imaging, allowing immediate diagnosis and treatment planning. Our goal is always to achieve accurate alignment, stable fixation, and the fastest possible return to function.
Distal radius fractures are among the most common fractures in adults — often from falls on an outstretched hand. Treated with casting or surgical fixation (ORIF with volar locking plate).
A medical urgency in older adults with osteoporosis. Early surgical treatment (ORIF or hip arthroplasty) reduces complications and restores mobility. We coordinate with hospitalist teams for optimal outcomes.
Bimalleolar, trimalleolar, and Pilon fractures of the ankle — treated conservatively or with ORIF depending on displacement and stability. Early anatomic restoration preserves long-term joint function.
Vertebral compression fractures from osteoporosis or trauma. Stable fractures are managed conservatively; unstable or painful fractures benefit from kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty.
Metacarpal and phalangeal fractures — many heal with splinting, but displaced or rotated fractures require surgical pinning or ORIF to restore hand function.
Radial head, olecranon, and both-bone forearm fractures. Treated based on displacement and elbow stability — ranging from casting to surgical fixation.
Common in cyclists, contact sports athletes, and fall injuries. Most heal with a sling, but completely displaced or shortened mid-shaft clavicle fractures benefit from plate fixation.
Tibial shaft fractures from sports, motor vehicle accidents, or falls. Treated with intramedullary nailing for displaced fractures, or functional bracing for select stable fractures.
Overuse fractures common in runners, military recruits, and dancers. High-risk stress fractures (femoral neck, fifth metatarsal, navicular) require prompt surgical treatment to prevent displacement.
Many stable, non-displaced fractures heal excellently with a cast or splint. We use fiberglass casts for lighter weight and waterproof options. Follow-up X-rays confirm healing progress.
Surgical realignment and stabilization of displaced or unstable fractures using plates, screws, rods, or pins. Allows precise restoration of anatomy and early mobilization.
A rod is inserted through the medullary canal of long bones (femur, tibia, humerus) to stabilize shaft fractures — strong fixation with minimal soft tissue disruption.
Minimally invasive treatment for vertebral compression fractures — a balloon restores vertebral height, then bone cement stabilizes the fracture through a needle-sized portal. Most patients go home the same day.
You should see an orthopedic specialist promptly for any suspected fracture, especially if you have significant pain, swelling, deformity, or inability to bear weight. Some fractures require urgent surgical treatment — particularly open fractures, hip fractures, and spinal fractures.
No. Many fractures heal well with conservative treatment — casting, splinting, or bracing. Surgery (ORIF or other fixation) is typically recommended when the fracture is displaced, unstable, involves a joint surface, is an open fracture, or has failed non-surgical management.
Simple fractures in healthy adults typically heal in 6–8 weeks. More complex fractures or fractures in osteoporotic bone may take 3–6 months. Full return to activity usually takes longer than bone healing.
Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is a surgical procedure that realigns and stabilizes a broken bone using hardware such as plates, screws, rods, or wires. ORIF allows precise fracture reduction and typically enables earlier mobilization compared to cast treatment alone.
Yes. Hip fractures are a medical urgency — early surgical treatment significantly improves outcomes. We perform ORIF and hip arthroplasty (partial or total hip replacement) for hip fractures, coordinating closely with hospitalist and anesthesia teams for medically complex patients.
Minimally invasive treatment for vertebral compression fractures — same-day procedure, rapid pain relief.
Treating and preventing bone fractures caused by osteoporosis — diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management.
Workplace fracture injuries treated under workers' comp — we work directly with adjusters and employers.
