Orthopedic Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery
Orthopedic trauma care addresses complex injuries affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These injuries often occur as a result of sudden events like falls, motor vehicle accidents, or high-impact athletic activities.
In many clinical cases, the cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (Knee Cap) deteriorates and softens causing pain caused by repeated stress on the joint. Our trauma team focuses on restoring proper joint alignment, stabilizing fractures, and implementing surgical reconstructions when conservative approaches are insufficient.
Trauma Conditions We Treat
- Complex Open and Closed Fractures
- Joint Dislocations and Ligament Disruption
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee) and Cartilage Softening
- Malunions and Nonunions (fractures that did not heal properly)
Treatment Approach
Depending on the severity of the trauma, we implement both non-operative treatments (like casting, bracing, and physical rehab) and advanced surgical treatments (including internal fixation, intramedullary nailing, and joint reconstruction) to ensure that patients regain maximum function and minimize future arthritic wear.
