Although Dr. Lazar does not specialize in traumas, he does treat fractures, sprains, and strains at his Plantation, Florida orthopedic care location with Regenerative Injection Therapy to enhance healing, as well as electronic stimulation, ultrasound, and physical therapy.
About Fractures
A fracture is a break in a bone, which may also include the surrounding tissue. Bone fractures may occur from injuries, osteoporosis, tumors, or stress fractures from prolonged walking or running.
There are many types of fractures, including simple, comminuted, open, closed, undisplaced, and displaced. Depending on the severity and type of fracture, treatment might involve casting or surgery from the outside of the fracture with pins or wires or from the inside of the fracture with rods, wires or screws.

About Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains are two of the most common orthopedic injuries.
A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn, and it is usually the result from a fall, sudden twist, or blow to the body. The most common sprains occur in the ankle, wrist, and thumb.
When a sprain occurs, signs and symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, instability, and decreased or loss of motion. Sometimes, people feel a pop or a tear.
