Conditions to Seek Out an Orthopedic Trauma Specialist
- Fractures: Fractures are one of the most common orthopedic trauma conditions. They can occur in various bones, such as the arms, legs, wrists, ankles, and hips, and may require surgical intervention for proper healing. Fractures can occur due to various accidents and impacts, causing broken bones that require immediate attention and expert care. Our orthopedic trauma surgeons are skilled in diagnosing and treating fractures of all types and complexities, ensuring proper alignment, and healing for optimal recovery.
- Dislocations: Joint dislocations happen when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal positions. Common dislocations include shoulder dislocations and finger joint dislocations. Joint dislocations can be painful and debilitating, affecting your mobility and daily activities. Our orthopedic trauma specialists have the experience to reduce dislocations, providing relief and offering comprehensive care to prevent future complications promptly and safely.
- Sprains and Strains: Sprains involve stretching or tearing of ligaments, while strains involve stretching or tearing of muscles or tendons. These soft tissue injuries can result from sports activities, accidents, or overuse. These injuries often occur in the ankles, knees, and wrists. Our team is well-versed in managing sprains and strains, utilizing conservative treatments and rehabilitation techniques for a speedy recovery.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: In addition to fractures and joint injuries, orthopedic trauma can also involve soft tissue injuries, such as contusions (bruises), lacerations (cuts), and abrasions (scrapes).
