Fractures

Fractures are common and may occur during motor vehicle accidents, work place injuries and sporting injuries in young people. Osteoporis is a disease of bones causing them to become thinner and fracture easily. This leads to many of the fractures we see particularily in the hip, femur and wrist. During his time as a trauma specialist at The Austin Hospital, Mr Barnes has treated a wide range of fractures. Mr Barnes is experienced in treating fractures around the hip, knee, ankle and upper limb. Unfortunately fractures occur when we least expect and Mr Barnes will arrange for you to be seen and will discuss your options as quickly as possible.
