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.
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.
