In this episode, we sit down with orthopedic specialist Dr. Klein to unpack one of the most common injuries: broken bones. We kick things off by clearing up a frequent patient question: “Is it a break or a fracture?” (Spoiler: they’re the same thing!). From there, Dr. Klein covers everything from how fractures are diagnosed, including the roles of X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, weight-bearing after surgery, and what factors like osteopenia and nicotine use can mean for bone healing. Dr. Klein shares insight on the future of orthopedic care and offers clear explanations that make this a great episode for anyone looking to better understand bone injuries and how they're treated.
