Treatment and Recovery
Fractures are quite common in childhood. If you believe your child may have a fracture, you should see a specialist as soon as possible so your child can get properly diagnosed and treated. A broken bone will need to be stabilized and protected. Without the right treatment, there’s a chance your child could lose range of motion, develop arthritis or chronic pain, or develop a permanent deformity or disability.
Healing time can vary based on the severity of the fracture and other factors, but children’s bones often heal faster than adult bones. On average, it takes about 4 to 8 weeks for fractures to heal.

Setting the standard in treating Hemohilia
At LuskinOIC’s Orthopaedic Hemophilia Treatment Center (OHTC), we set the standard in treating hemophilia joint and limb issues. In 1970, OHTC was designated by the World Federation of Hemophilia as one of the first four International Hemophilia Training Centers.
We’ve consistently been pioneers for our patients: we were the first comprehensive care center on the West Coast, we performed the first successful hip replacement surgery in a patient with hemophilia, and through clinical trials we have been providing the newest treatments available.
In addition to treatment, we conduct groundbreaking research, provide innovative and personalized physical therapy, and offer genetic counseling for patients and their families.
Why LuskinOIC for Fractures?
As LA’s experts at treating broken bones in children, our care begins with urgent care diagnosis and spans the entire recovery process. This includes:
- Initial treatment at LuskinOIC’s Pediatric Orthopedic Urgent Care Center
- Specialized care at the Ahmanson Foundation Fracture Center at LuskinOIC
- Onsite diagnostic tests and imaging, including X-rays
- Non-surgical and surgical treatment
- Casting and cast care, if needed
- Physical rehabilitation, if needed
- Follow-up care throughout recovery, including the use of telehealth
Your child’s treatment plan for fractures will have three main goals:
- Reduce pain
- Line up the broken bone and set it correctly
- Help your child regain normal range of motion in the injured area
Here’s what to expect during fracture treatment at LuskinOIC:
- If the bone is out of place, our specialists will realign the bone first.
- Depending on the location and severity of the fracture, our specialist might recommend a brace, splint, or cast to protect a fracture while it heals and reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasms.
For proper recovery, our specialist may prescribe pain medication, physical therapy, and follow-up appointments. It’s important for your child to follow all instructions to heal as quickly as possible.
The pediatric orthopedic rehabilitation center features a kids corner, innovative technology for movement and coordination development, and a NASA-designed Alter G machine for gravity-eliminated walking and running activities, expediting the return-to-normal activities during rehabilitation.
