Fracture Clinic

Q: What types of injuries can you treat?

Kinkaya's medical team can assist with suspected fractures and joint injuries, cuts (including those requiring stitches or glue) and abrasions, and suspected concussion. For general muscle strains and sprains, Kinkaya provides initial care and will recommend services such as physiotherapy for rehabilitation.

Q: What if I get injured playing sport?

Kinkaya's medical team is available every day from 8am to 10pm. If on-site x-ray is not operating at the time, patients may be referred to a nearby partner radiology provider.

Q: When should I call an ambulance instead of coming to urgent care for injuries?

Call 000 immediately for a serious injury, including major accidents, unconsciousness or unresponsiveness, heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, possible head, neck or spinal injury, a discoloured or unusually angled limb, or a bone visibly through the skin.

Q: Do you run follow-up clinics for sports injuries?

Kinkaya's fracture clinic operates every Monday and Wednesday morning to manage the healing of breaks. For cuts and wounds, follow-ups are arranged as required, and for other soft tissue injuries patients are referred to relevant providers such as a physiotherapist.

Q: How long does it usually take for a fracture to heal?

Simple fractures usually heal within around 6 weeks, though the exact approach depends on the type and location of the break.

Q: Can I come to the fracture clinic if I have already been seen at a hospital or other clinic?

Yes. Patients can call Kinkaya on 0489 078 000 to arrange this.

Because injuries don’t just happen during office hours.
