This study is exploring whether a virtual reality (VR) program can help reduce pain for people hospitalized with orthopedic fractures (broken bones). Researchers want to see if using VR can decrease the amount of opioid pain medicine you need during your hospital stay. They also want to understand how well a VR service can work in a hospital setting and how to make it better for patients. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, hospitalized with an orthopedic fracture, can fully participate in the study, and can see clearly (with or without contacts). People who speak only non-English languages or have severe motion sickness cannot participate. The study aims to enroll 100 participants.
