As a result, you need to get an Xray right away after a fracture.  It takes a long time for a bone to heal, depending on the fracture. In addition, you need to war a cast for several weeks or months in order for it to heal properly. Highland Park Emergency Room provide quick diagnosis with Xrays and proper treatment. There are no better options in the Dallas area for fast medical attention with no wait.

First Step: Getting an Xray

An Xray shows the exact nature of a bone fracture or break. Your doctor needs to know this information. There are four main types of bone fractures. These include displaced, non-displaced, open, and closed. Due to the different kinds of fractures, doctors must use Xrays to determine how to proceed.Xray of shoulder

Treating a Broken Bone

Finally, once the doctor knows what kind of fracture you are suffering from, they can proceed to properly treat it. In order to heal properly, broken bones have to be set correctly. Typically, broken bones that are set without surgery are put in a cast for a recommended time period. However, if you suffer from a more complicated fracture or an open fracture (the bone protruded out from your skin), surgery could become necessary in the future.
