Is it possible to have a fracture without hospitalization?

The need for hospitalization and treatment after a fracture is determined by the severity of the fracture and the patient’s personal constitution. If the fracture is minor or the dislocation is not serious, it is possible to achieve functional repositioning after manual repositioning and to recover at home after outpatient treatment without hospitalization. However, if the fracture is serious, such as comminuted fracture, open fracture, periarticular fracture and fracture with serious damage to surrounding tissues, etc., hospitalization is required for examination and surgical treatment, necessary debridement, incision or closed internal fixation, and post-fracture treatment with medication to activate blood circulation and promote fracture healing.
