All Types of Trauma & Fractures

Trauma & Fractures refer to injuries that result in damage to bones, joints, or soft tissues due to external forces such as accidents, falls, or sports-related injuries.

A fracture is the medical term for a broken bone, and it can vary from a simple hairline crack to a complete break. Trauma, in the context of orthopedics, refers to injuries caused by external forces that impact the body, leading to fractures, dislocations, ligament tears, or soft tissue damage. Treatment for trauma and fractures often includes casting, splinting, surgery, and rehabilitation to restore function and promote healing.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of services for trauma and fractures, including:

  • Fracture Management: Our team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of fractures involving the bones of the upper and lower extremities, including the arms, legs, hips, and shoulders. We employ both non-surgical and surgical techniques to stabilize fractures and promote healing.
  • Joint Dislocation Reduction: We provide prompt and effective reduction of joint dislocations, including shoulder dislocations, elbow dislocations, and hip dislocations. Our goal is to restore normal joint alignment and function while minimizing discomfort and preventing complications.
  • Soft Tissue Injury Treatment: In addition to fractures and dislocations, we also treat a variety of soft tissue injuries, including ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendon injuries. Our team utilizes a combination of conservative treatments such as bracing, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine techniques to promote healing and restore function.
  • What are the common causes of traumatic injuries and fractures?
    Traumatic injuries and fractures can occur as a result of various incidents, including falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, workplace accidents, and acts of violence. The specific cause of the injury may vary depending on individual circumstances and activities.
  • How do I know if I've suffered a fracture or a soft tissue injury?
    Fractures typically cause localized pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected limb or joint. In some cases, there may be visible deformity or abnormal positioning of the bone. Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and strains, may also cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility but usually do not involve a break in the bone.
  • What should I do if I suspect I've suffered a fracture or a traumatic injury?
    If you suspect you’ve suffered a fracture or a traumatic injury, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. Avoid moving the injured area unnecessarily and try to keep it immobilized until you can receive medical evaluation and treatment. You may apply ice packs and elevate the injured limb to help reduce pain and swelling.
  • How are fractures diagnosed?
    Fractures are typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, medical history review, and diagnostic imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. These tests help determine the location, severity, and extent of the fracture, guiding the treatment plan.
  • What are the treatment options for fractures?
    The treatment for fractures depends on various factors, including the type and location of the fracture, the severity of the injury, and the patient’s overall health. Treatment options may include immobilization with casts or splints, closed reduction (manipulation of the bone back into alignment without surgery), open reduction (surgical realignment of the bone), internal fixation (hardware such as screws or plates to stabilize the fracture), or external fixation (use of pins and an external frame to stabilize the fracture).
