Broken Bones
Fractures, or broken bones, are the fourth most common injury among children under age six. At Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care, we are able to evaluate broken bones or sprains. If part of the injury is open and bleeding, or if bone is protruding through the skin, place firm pressure on the wound; then cover it with clean (preferably sterile) gauze. We recommend taking your child to the emergency room if they have this kind of fracture.
FAQs
At our pediatric urgent care, we don’t place casts, but we do offer fiberglass splinting when needed. A fiberglass splint is a supportive device that helps stabilize your child’s injured bone to reduce pain and prevent further injury. After splinting, we’ll refer you to an orthopedist for casting and follow-up care.
Yes! If your child has a minor emergency and you’re searching for a kids urgent care, you can count on us to provide accurate X-rays to help diagnose the problem right away. We do not provide x-rays of the head or spine.
No, our urgent care pediatrics team specializes in diagnosing and treating minor injuries like broken bones, sprains, or other conditions affecting the arms, legs, hands, feet, and torso, so our x-rays are only performed from the shoulders down. Please also keep in mind that we do not do spine x-rays.
No, our pediatric urgent care clinics do not perform CT scans. If your child’s condition requires a CT scan for further evaluation, our providers will assess your child and refer you to an appropriate pediatric specialist that can provide a CT scan.
If you ever need help deciding whether your child should be seen at our clinic or the ER, just search walk-in pediatrician near me, and we’ll help guide you to the best next steps for your child’s health and safety.
