Mackenzie Health’s Fracture Clinic provides expert follow-up care for patients experiencing an orthopedic injury referred from our Emergency Department, Urgent Care Centre and local walk-in clinics. We also see patients after they have had surgery at Mackenzie Health. The clinic is supported by orthopedic surgeons and a group of interdisciplinary professionals.

How long does a Fracture Clinic visit take?

Your visit can take between one to three hours to complete. Factors such as how busy the clinic is, the different members of our team who will need to assess you, and whether you need an x-ray can affect the length of your visit.

What do I do when I arrive at the hospital?

Patients may park in the visitors parking lot, just north of the hospital, and enter through the D-wing entrance near the Emergency Department. Click here for more information on parking services.

During peak hours, parking can take longer than expected. Please allow yourself extra time to

accommodate this. Alternate options are to take public transit or be dropped off by a family member or friend.

Check in to the Fracture Clinic, located on Level 2, between the C-wing main lobby and the D-wing Emergency Department entrance.
