Medical365 fracture management software standardizes AO/OTA classification, plaster cast tracking, surgical fixation & bone union monitoring in hospital EMR.
Fracture management software is a specialized clinical documentation and workflow module designed for orthopedic trauma surgeons and emergency teams. It standardizes fracture diagnosis using the universal AO/OTA classification, tracks closed reduction procedures, manages cast application and removal schedules, records surgical hardware fixation details, and tracks longitudinal bone union progress across rehabilitation visits.
Addressing high-volume OPD congestion, diagnostic fragmentation, and statutory healthcare regulations.
Trauma and orthopedic fractures represent one of the most urgent and high-volume clinical workloads in Indian hospitals. Road traffic accidents, industrial injuries, falls in the elderly, and sports trauma generate thousands of complex fracture presentations every single day across urban and rural trauma centers.
Managing acute fractures requires seamless coordination across emergency triage, radiology, the plaster room, operation theaters, and outpatient follow-up clinics. In many facilities, vital details—such as whether a fracture was open or closed (Gustilo-Anderson grade), the neurovascular status of the extremity, cast padding specifications, or post-reduction X-ray alignments—are recorded in disjointed emergency registers or lost paper notes.
Medical365's Fracture Management module unifies trauma care within a structured, evidence-based digital environment. Equipped with interactive AO/OTA classification pickers, emergency neurovascular checklists, cast application logs, and bone healing scorecards, the module ensures complete clinical documentation continuity from initial emergency splinting to full functional recovery.
Engineered with medical sub-specialists to eliminate manual charting friction and enforce clinical protocol rigor.
Integrates the complete AO Foundation / Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) fracture classification system, enabling surgeons to rapidly categorize bone, segment, type, and group with 1-click accuracy.
Structures Gustilo-Anderson open fracture classification (Grade I, II, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC) with automated clinical prompts for emergency IV antibiotic timing, tetanus prophylaxis, and urgent debridement scheduling.
Enforces mandatory pre- and post-reduction documentation of distal pulses (radial, dorsalis pedis), motor function, and dermatomal sensation to protect against compartment syndrome and neurological compromise.
Tracks cast and splint applications: immobilization type (slab, full cast, functional brace), material (plaster of Paris vs. fiberglass), application date, cast technician, and scheduled removal date.
Documents closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP), open reduction internal fixation (ORIF), intramedullary nailing, and external fixation with linked implant serial numbers.
Monitors radiographic bone union milestones (bridging callus, cortical remodeling, trabecular crossing) across follow-up visits, flagging delayed union or non-union early.
High-resolution data flow architecture connecting point-of-care capture, diagnostic instruments, and national health registries.
A transparent 5-stage digital pathway standardizing patient care from initial requisition to longitudinal review.
Trauma team records injury mechanism, neurovascular status, open wound grading, and orders urgent emergency X-rays.
Surgeon classifies fracture, determines conservative (cast/slab) versus operative intervention, and initiates consent.
Closed reduction performed in plaster room or operative fixation (ORIF/nailing) executed in OT with hardware logging.
Outpatient visits track cast tightness, skin integrity, suture removal, and radiographic alignment checks.
Upon radiological bridging callus confirmation, cast is removed and automated rehabilitation referral is generated.
Medical365 Fracture Management complies with AO Trauma principles and the clinical governance mandates of the Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA) and the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH).
All clinical trauma entries, neurovascular checks, and surgical implant records are cryptographically secured with AES-256 encryption compliant with the DPDP Act 2023. Generated trauma summaries are formatted under ABDM FHIR standards for nationwide health record interoperability.

| Feature / Requirement | Conventional Manual Practice | Medical365 EMR Solution ★ |
|---|---|---|
| Fracture Classification |
✕ Manual Method: Vague descriptions like 'broken leg' or 'wrist fracture' |
✓ Medical365 Solution: Standardized AO/OTA code (e.g., 22-B2.1) specifying exact bone and lesion geometry |
| Neurovascular Checks |
✕ Manual Method: Frequently omitted or recorded as illegible scribble |
✓ Medical365 Solution: Mandatory pre- and post-reduction digital checklist for pulses and sensation |
| Cast Removal Scheduling |
✕ Manual Method: Patient told verbally; high rate of prolonged immobilization complications |
✓ Medical365 Solution: Automated WhatsApp alerts reminding patient of scheduled cast removal date |
| Open Fracture Antibiotic Timing |
✕ Manual Method: Uncertain timing of first antibiotic dose in emergency room |
✓ Medical365 Solution: Timestamped logging of emergency antibiotic and tetanus administration |
| Bone Healing Audit |
✕ Manual Method: Difficult to track union rates across thousands of past trauma cases |
✓ Medical365 Solution: Searchable database tracking healing time, union rates, and complications |
Seamless bidirectional data sharing across all hospital clinical departments and diagnostics.
Clinical, technical, and regulatory answers for hospital directors and medical specialists.
The AO/OTA system provides an internationally recognized alphanumeric code for every fracture. Medical365's visual selector allows surgeons to click the affected bone and fracture pattern to auto-populate the exact code, improving documentation consistency and academic research.
Yes. The system enforces mandatory serial neurovascular assessments—including pain out of proportion, passive stretch pain, and distal pulse checks—with automated alerts prompting urgent clinical reassessment.
Yes. Plaster room staff have a dedicated mobile/tablet interface to view doctor cast orders, log cast application details, record padding thickness, and schedule removal dates.
The module includes a specialized pediatric trauma branch that categorizes Salter-Harris physis fractures (Types I through V) and schedules mandatory growth arrest surveillance visits.
Yes. Clinical staff can photograph open fracture wounds using the Medical365 mobile app; images are encrypted and stored directly in the patient's chart without saving to the personal device gallery.
Yes. When the surgeon confirms radiographic union and removes the cast, the system allows 1-click generation of a physiotherapy requisition with joint mobilization protocols.
