Orthopedic Trauma

Orthopedic trauma treatment spans the continuum of basic, isolated fractures, which lead to serious life-threatening changing accidents involving multiple broken bones.

Fractures are injuries which requires expert diagnosis and care for quick recovery. More serious injuries involving multiple broken bones, compound fractures, and fractures below the joint and pelvic fractures are more difficult to treat and benefit most from specialized care.
In addition, untreated fracture complications, including non-unions, infections, and malunion, are often treated by orthopaedic surgeon’s. Surgeons at LIFESPAN have unparallel experience and knowledge to treat such complex trauma cases with advanced care. Patients are given emergency care in case of such injuries and fracture fixation surgery is done within 24 hours if the patient does not have any other medical co-morbidity.

Treatment for Trauma

Fractures are conditions that require prompt attention, fractures are classified and treated accordingly. At Lifespan, leading-edge surgical procedures are used in trauma patient’s care, including minimally invasive surgeries, advanced external and internal fixation, and the use of bone graft [both artificial and natural bone grafts harvested from patient]

Non-surgical Treatment choices for orthopedic Trauma Injuries

Not all fractures require surgery, primarily those that are undisplaced i.e those in which the fracture has not shifted much from its original position can be managed without surgical intervention Depending on the severity of the fracture, our surgeon may treat the injury in a non-surgical manner using plaster of paris or articast.

Surgical Treatment Options For Displaced Fractures

The internal fixation procedure is when a surgeon performs surgery to insert pins, wires, screws, and plates on the bone to fix the fractured bone. Severe fractures can include more complex surgical procedures, including open reduction and internal fixation surgery, inter medullary nailing surgery and complex reconstruction surgeries.

Recovery From Ortho Related Trauma

The duration required for fracture healing depends on the type and severity of the fracture. It can take four weeks to several months for the bone to heal entirely, and the bone can never heal perfectly in the worst cases until it is fixed surgically . The good news is that often, the pain due to fracture will go down dramatically before the bone is completely recovered. Our highly experienced doctors are pioneers in the treatment of fractures both surgically and conservatively . surgeons use a vast range of advanced techniques, including minimally invasive surgery and advanced external fixation to treat complex fractures. And also bone grafting and supportive medications are often used to help rebuild bones that have not been healed.
