Facilitation of ankle and hip joint replacement and tendon surgery for accidental bone fractures
Orthopedic trauma typically refers to an injury caused by some external force, such as a severe fall, a serious accident, or even a violent attack. These injuries occur in the musculoskeletal system, including bones, cartilage, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons of the body
Sometimes, orthopaedic trauma is immediately obvious. Life-threatening injuries, such as protruding bones, require an immediate trip to the emergency room where an orthopaedic surgeon will get to work right away.
Other times, orthopaedic trauma is not life-threatening, but still requires specialized care. Some of the most common injuries that are most effectively treated by an orthopaedic trauma specialist are:
- Closed fractures (Broken bone that doesn’t break the skin)
- Open fractures (Broken bone that does break the skin)
- Stress fractures (Small, hairline crack in the bone caused by overuseDislocation (A joint forced out of position) Overuse injuries)
