Yes, many types of bone fractures can be treated without surgery. Non-surgical treatments may include immobilization of the affected area with a cast, brace, or splint, which allows the bone to heal. The doctor may also recommend pain management medication, physical therapy, and rest. In some cases, non-surgical treatment may not be sufficient, and surgery may be necessary. This may be the case for more severe fractures, such as those that have displaced or broken through the skin.
