Intra-Articular Fractures
Joint Fractures
Joint fractures involve the smooth joint surface and need accurate assessment to reduce stiffness, deformity and post-traumatic arthritis risk.
Joint Surface
Why joint fractures need special care
Even small joint surface steps can affect movement and long-term comfort.
Planning
- X-ray and CT scan review.
- Joint alignment restoration.
- Stable fixation when surgery is needed.
- Early movement when safe.
Risks
Stiffness and arthritis prevention
Rehabilitation is as important as fracture fixation.
Risks
- Joint stiffness.
- Cartilage damage.
- Post-traumatic arthritis.
- Delayed return to work or sport.
Recovery focus
- Swelling control.
- Motion exercises under guidance.
- Weight-bearing restrictions.
- Follow-up imaging.
