Fracture Clinic Appointments: What To Expect
Please remember to bring your health card and any completed forms to your appointment at the Fracture Clinic.
When you arrive at the Fracture Clinic, you will check-in and then sit in the waiting area. Fracture Clinic team members may order more tests and they will review options and let you know if you need surgery.
Most patients who are seen in the Fracture Clinic do not need to have surgery and may be treated with the use of casts or splints, and referrals to rehabilitative services such as physiotherapy.
If you need to have surgery, you may have surgery the same day or in a few days. Our team will keep you informed and provide updates to you during this time.

Preparing for your appointment at the Fracture Clinic:
After an injury, you will likely have questions and concerns about what to expect during your treatment and recovery. The surgeon you see in the Fracture Clinic will ask you what is important to you in managing your condition and help to address any questions you may have. Please bring a notebook or smart device such as your cell phone or tablet with you to write down any questions, concerns or follow up information.
You are welcome to bring one (1) essential partner-in-care (EPC) with you to your appointment. Please speak with the care team if you require language/interpretation services or if you have any questions
