Complex Trauma Surgery

Trauma and orthopedics is an area of surgery concerned with injuries and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system (the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves). Conditions which leads to trauma surgeries are, when there is an injury such as bone fracture, a deformity of the spine or limbs, etc. Severe injury to one or more organs or tissues in the musculoskeletal system is considered orthopedic trauma. It is an injury affecting the joints, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or any of the related tissues and vessels. Car accidents and sports injuries are two of the most common causes of orthopedic trauma.

Regardless of the cause, orthopedic trauma requires immediate medical attention. Whether you’ve been in a car accident, a sports-related accident, or suffered a bad fall, it’s best to see a doctor immediately for injury assessment. The doctor will likely order a scan of the injured area to make sure that there are no undetected internal injuries or to verify any suspected injury
