What to Expect
At your appointment, a member of our orthopaedic team will review your injury history, conduct a physical examination, and arrange on-site diagnostic imaging if needed to confirm your diagnosis.
If casting is required, professional cast application will be performed during the same visit, and you will receive guidance on what to expect during the healing process.
You will leave with a clear diagnosis, a treatment and recovery plan, and follow-up appointments arranged for cast adjustment, removal, or fracture monitoring as needed.
