If you’re suffering from a suspected broken bone due to a sports injury, a trauma injury or an acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury, there’s now an alternative to waiting for hours to be seen at a public hospital emergency department.
At our Specialist EUC Fracture Clinic Tuggerah, we provide you with fast, walk-in orthopedic care where you will be quickly assessed and treated by our attending Specialist Orthopaedic Surgeon, experienced physiotherapists, and nurses.

Fractures and Musculoskeletal Injuries We Treat
Whether you suspect you’ve broken a bone or you’re suffering from an acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury, our EUC Fracture Clinic team is highly trained and experienced in managing and treating a wide range of injuries, including:
- Paediatric greenstick fractures – children’s bones are more flexible so they often only partially break a bone or just occur on one side of the bone.
- Fractured arms
- Fractured collarbone
- Fractured and sprained wrists
- Fractured and dislocated fingers
- Fractured and sprained ankles
If you have a compound fracture (where the broken bone breaks the skin) or another type of fracture that potentially requires surgery, we’ll endeavour to arrange your surgery in a private hospital or facilitate your referral to the nearest public emergency department.
