Fractures or broken bones are a common injury in Key Largo. Residents suffer this injury when playing sports, in falls, on the job, and in car collisions. Children can break bones when taking part in school activities or when playing sports or playing on playgrounds.
In some cases, broken bones result in simple fractures. The bone can break cleanly and not tear through the skin. In most cases, a cast can be worn for eight weeks and the bone heals on its own. In the case of hairline fractures, a functional cast can be worn to make mobility even easier. One of the wonderful things about bones is that if they are set and kept immobile enough, our bodies can heal a fracture.
