Fracture Care

A bone fracture is a crack in the bone usually due to trauma, overuse or diseases which can weaken the bones.

Fractures are diagnosed by x-ray and require specialist fracture care to ensure that the bone heals quickly and remains strong.

At Skyline Sports Medicine we will help you to recover from your fracture and get back in action as soon as possible.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and What Are PRP Injections?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. Ultrasound imaging is sometimes used to guide the injection.
