Trauma & Fracture Care
Bring Movement, Back to your Life!
When a patient has suffered a traumatic injury, they will need thoughtful, timely intervention to minimize complications, speed up the recovery process, and return them to maximum functional capability. In patients with open fractures, emergent irrigation and debridement of the traumatic wounds is necessary. Most displaced unstable fractures will require surgical stabilization.
Geriatric Orthopaedics
The field of orthopaedics aims to promote health by preventing and treating diseases and disabilities associated with the musculoskeletal system. Within this framework, the impairments that orthopaedic surgeons often address are related to mobility and function.
Periarticular Fracture Care
This may involve external fixation initially followed by surgical plates and screws or nails to repair the fractured bone. Additional surgery and prolonged treatment may be necessary to repair damage to the connective tissue around the joint.
Periprosthetic Fracture Care
Essentially all periprosthetic fractures require some treatment. Stable nondisplaced fractures may only require protected weightbearing or cast/brace immobilization (and pain medication), but most unstable peri-implant fractures require surgical stabilization, implant replacement, or both to restore function.
