Fracture Clinic

Not at all! We are here to assist with any urgent health matter at anytime from 8am to 10pm every day, including on the weekends.

With so much organised sport on the weekends, we are just making sure we have the resources available, including the operation of our x-ray, to properly handle sports injuries.

Our medical team have the experience and resources to readily assist with the following types of presentations:

• Suspected fractures and joint injuries.
• Cuts (including requiring stitches or glue) and abrasions.
• Suspected concussion.

For general muscle strains and sprains, we can assist with initial care to make you more comfortable but will recommend you to other services such as physiotherapy for rehabilitation.

We are currently working with partner healthcare providers to expand our weekend soft tissue injury services.

Our expert medical team is here to help you every day from 8am to 10pm.

If during the small window our x-ray services are not operating, we will potentially refer you to PRC or I-MED Radiology (both located within 500m of the clinic).

Our on-site x-ray operating hours are listed here.

If the injury is serious, please call 000 immediately.

You should always seek emergency help if:

• The injury happened in a major accident (car crash, fall from height etc.).
• The injured person is unconscious or unresponsive.
• There is heavy or uncontrolled bleeding.
• There is the possibility of head, next or spinal injury.
• The arm or leg is discoloured or at an unusual angle.
• The bone is sticking through the skin.
• There is severe bleeding or swelling.

Here is a full rundown of first aid for fractures prepared by St John Ambulance Australia.

For cuts and wounds we will arrange follow-ups as required or if you prefer, coordinate with your regular GP.

We have just started operating a fracture clinic every Wednesday to manage the healing of breaks until the patient is back to full health.

For other soft tissue injuries like sprains, tears or ligament damage we will refer you to relevant care providers such as a physiotherapist to manage your recovery.

Here's what a typical fracture journey at Kinkaya looks like:
