Hello Zulfikar Ji,

Thank you for your message. A broken collarbone (clavicle fracture), especially if it's displaced or severely fractured, often requires surgery to ensure proper healing and restore full shoulder function.

Line of Treatment for Collarbone Fracture

  1. Clinical Evaluation and Imaging:

    • X-ray or CT scan to assess fracture type, displacement, and bone alignment

    • Based on the result, your doctor will decide between non-surgical (for mild cases) and surgical options

  2. Surgical Treatment (if required):

    • Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF):

      • A common surgery where the bone is realigned and fixed using plates and screws

    • Helps achieve faster recovery, better shoulder movement, and lower risk of deformity or non-union

Next Steps:

  • Visit an orthopaedic or trauma specialist for a physical examination and  X-ray

  • Discuss surgery timing, anaesthesia, recovery period, and cost

  • Get a pre-surgery evaluation (blood tests, ECG, etc.)

Precautions Before Shoulder Fracture Surgery

  • Avoid food or water for 6–8 hours before surgery (as advised by your doctor)

  • Stop any blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin) 5–7 days prior, if advised.

  • Share full medical history—especially if you have diabetes, high BP, or allergies.

  • Get all required blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray done before the procedure.

  • Arrange for someone to accompany you on the day of surgery

Precautions After Shoulder Fracture Surgery

  • Wear a sling or shoulder immobiliser as advised

  • Avoid lifting, driving, or heavy movements for a few weeks

  • Start physiotherapy after 2–3 weeks to regain strength and mobility

  • Follow-up visits to check bone healing via X-rays

Is Intertrochanteric fracture covered in ABHA

D
Dr. Rudrani DholeExpert

Hello Diwakar Ji,

Thank you for your query. An intertrochanteric fracture (a type of hip fracture common in older adults) typically requires surgical treatment, such as internal fixation with a plate, screw, or intramedullary nail. The good news is that this condition is covered under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)—but only if your ABHA card is linked to Ayushman eligibility.

Is Intertrochanteric Fracture Covered in ABHA?

  • The ABHA card (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is not an insurance card by itself.

  • However, if you are a PM-JAY beneficiary (Ayushman cardholder) and your ABHA card is linked, then treatment for an intertrochanteric fracture is covered under the scheme.

Treatment Coverage Includes:

  • Hospitalization expenses

  • Surgery (internal fixation/ORIF)

  • Implants and prosthetics (as per standard Ayushman packages)

  • Post-operative care and medications during hospital stay

How to Confirm Eligibility Under Ayushman Bharat and Get Treated?

  1. Visit a PM-JAY empanelled hospital in Navi Mumbai

  2. Carry your ABHA card, Aadhaar card, and previous X-rays or medical records

  3. Hospital’s Ayushman help desk will verify your eligibility

  4. If approved, treatment will be cashless

You can check the empanelled hospitals here:

सांधेदुखी पाठदुखी कंबरदुखी होत आहे

D
Dr. Rudrani DholeExpert

नमस्कार रावसाहेब जाधव सर,

आपण सांगितलेली सांधेदुखी, पाठदुखी आणि कंबरदुखी ही लक्षणं अनेक कारणांनी होऊ शकतात—जसे की विटॅमिन D किंवा B12 ची कमतरता, सांधांचे आजार (जसे की संधिवात), मस्क्युलर स्ट्रेन, किंवा वाढलेले वय.

आराम मिळवण्यासाठी घरगुती उपाय

  • गरम पाण्याची पट्टी पाठ आणि कंबरेवर लावावी

  • हळद दूध किंवा अद्रकाचा काढा घ्यावा

  • हलकी व्यायाम किंवा योगासने जसे की भुजंगासन, मकरासन

  • झोपण्याची पोझिशन योग्य ठेवा आणि जास्त वेळ एकाच स्थितीत बसणे टाळा

काय तपासणी करावी:

  • Vitamin D, B12, कॅल्शियम, थायरॉईड तपासणी

  • संधिवात किंवा कंबरदुखी असल्यास ऑर्थोपेडिक किंवा फिजिओथेरपिस्ट यांचं मत घ्या

जर दुखणे ३–४ आठवड्यांपेक्षा जास्त चालू असेल, तर डॉक्टरांचा सल्ला घ्या.

HexaHealth आपल्याला चांगले हाडाचे डॉक्टर किंवा फिजिओथेरपिस्ट शोधण्यात मदत करू शकते.

आपल्या वेदना लवकर कमी होवोत आणि आरोग्य उत्तम राहो, हीच शुभेच्छा!

Hello Chanchal Ji,

We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing joint and muscle pain for the past 3–4 months. When such pain continues for weeks or months, it's important to identify the root cause so you can get proper relief.

Possible Causes of Long-Term Joint and Muscle Pain

  • Vitamin D or B12 deficiency – very common and causes body aches and fatigue

  • Arthritis – especially osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis

  • Post-viral fatigue, like after COVID or other infections

  • Hypothyroidism can cause stiffness, fatigue, and swelling

  • Fibromyalgia or age-related wear and tear

What You Should Do To Relieve Joint and Muscle Pain?

  1. Get some basic tests done – like Vitamin D, B12, thyroid, ESR, and CRP

  2. Consult an orthopaedic or rheumatologist

  3. Use warm compresses, do gentle stretches, and avoid long sitting

  4. Maintain a balanced diet rich in calcium and protein

Wishing you strength, comfort, and a smooth recovery ahead!
