What do Orthopaedic Trauma Physicians do?
Orthopaedic trauma physicians diagnose and treat serious musculoskeletal injuries resulting from accidents, falls, or high-impact events, focusing on bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
They manage everything from simple fractures to complex, life-threatening injuries, providing immediate care through non-surgical options like casting and physical therapy or necessary surgical procedures to restore patient function and mobility.
What they do
Diagnosis and Assessment: Quickly evaluate injuries to determine their severity and which parts of the musculoskeletal system are affected.
Acute Care: Provide immediate treatment in emergency settings, sometimes involving triage to prioritize life-threatening injuries.
Surgical Intervention: Perform surgical procedures when necessary, such as fracture repair, using plates, screws, and rods to stabilize and realign bones.
Non-Surgical Treatment: Utilize treatments such as casting, bracing, rest, and medication for less severe injuries.
Rehabilitation and Follow-Up: Oversee the recovery phase, which can take weeks or months, to ensure proper healing and restore function.
Specialized Care: Manage a range of injuries, including complex fractures, soft-tissue injuries, and injuries requiring bone grafts or joint fusions.
What They Treat
Fractures: Injuries to bones, from hairline fractures to severe, open breaks.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Joint Injuries: Traumatic damage to the joints, which may require reconstructive surgery.
Why They Are Important
Orthopedic trauma physicians are crucial for managing the significant impact of traumatic injuries, preventing further complications, and guiding patients through a long and critical recovery process to help them return to their previous level of function.
