Treatment options for fractures vary depending on the location and severity of the injury. In many cases, a simple fracture can be treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). More serious fractures may require immobilization with a cast or splint, or even surgical intervention to realign the bone and promote healing.

It is important to follow the doctor's instructions for recovery and rehabilitation after a fracture. This may include physical therapy, exercises to improve strength and flexibility, and other treatments to reduce pain and swelling. It can take several weeks to several months for a fracture to fully heal, and during this time it is important to avoid activities that may reinjure the affected area.
