Broken Bones Emergency Care in Dallas

Do You Have a Broken Bone? Get Immediate Care at Advance ER 

If you suspect a broken bone, don’t wait—seek medical attention right away. Fractures can range from minor hairline cracks to severe breaks requiring urgent intervention. Getting prompt, expert care is essential to prevent complications, reduce pain, and ensure proper healing.

Not all fractures are the same, and some require emergency care to avoid complications or further damage. You should visit the ER for any suspected broken bone, especially if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• In severe cases, the bone is protruding from the skin
• Sudden pain at the site of injury
• Swelling, bruising, deformity, or misalignment
• The area is bleeding significantly
• Numbness or tingling present near the site of injury
• Difficulty bearing weight or moving the affected limb or joint
• A popping or cracking sound at the time of injury

If any of the symptoms above occur after an injury, visit Advance ER immediately. Our team at Advance ER treats both adult and pediatric patients. Our Specialists Now partnership is also critical to patients of all ages. Our partnership allows patients access to a variety of specialists from our emergency room.

Essential First Aid Tips for Broken Bones

If you suspect a broken bone, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately. There are several things you can do for a person with a broken bone while waiting for help: 

• First, wrap up any open wounds to stop bleeding.
• Immobilize the injured area using a splint or improvised materials to prevent further damage. 
• Make sure they are comfortable but try to keep their movement to a minimum. 
• Apply an ice pack to the area for ten minutes at a time.
• Keep the person calm by talking to them and assuring them that help is on the way.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Broken Bones in Dallas 

Why is an emergency room better for broken bones than urgent care?

While urgent care centers handle minor injuries, they often lack the imaging, expertise, and resources needed for complex fractures. Here’s why Advance ER is the better choice for fracture care:

• No Wait Times: Unlike hospital ERs, where long waits are common, Advance ER ensures fast, efficient care without delay
• Board-Certified Emergency Physicians: Our doctors are trained in managing all types of fractures, including severe and complicated breaks requiring urgent intervention.
• Pain Management & Immediate Treatment: We offer stronger pain relief options, splinting, casting, and even emergency orthopedic referrals when needed—urgent care centers often can’t provide these services.
• Treatment for Severe or Open Fractures: If a bone is displaced, open (breaking through the skin), or involves a joint, it requires emergency care, not urgent care. These injuries need immediate attention to prevent complications like infection, nerve damage, or improper healing.
• Advanced On-Site Imaging: Unlike urgent care centers that may refer you elsewhere, we provide immediate X-rays and advanced imaging to diagnose fractures on the spot.
