Orthopedic trauma refers to severe injury to the tissues that belong to the musculoskeletal system. These can include the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, joints, or any other related tissues.
Orthopedic trauma usually requires immediate medical attention. An orthopedic surgeon will be able to accurately diagnose the extent of the injury. The diagnosis will determine the best course of treatment in order for you to return to activity in the safest possible way.
Doctors who specialize in orthopedic medicine are called orthopedic surgeons. They specialize in treating traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. Although they are referred to as surgeons, they also provide other treatment options depending on the type and severity of the injury. They will usually use conservative treatments before offering surgery.
Orthopaedic injury could be caused by several different possibilities. Some of the common causes of traumatic injury are as follows:
You may be at a higher risk of orthopedic trauma if you have specific health conditions such as osteoporosis, severe arthritis, or poor eyesight, as these can increase the likelihood of a fall. If you participate in an active job or sports, you will also be at a greater risk.
You should see an orthopedic surgeon when the trauma is not life-threatening. Getting an early diagnosis and treatment early on will help to avoid further damage and pain in the future. If you have any of the following symptoms, book an appointment with an experienced orthopedic doctor:
A skilled orthopedic trauma doctor understands how to assess and treat a wide range of injuries and is able to provide care quickly and safely. They will also know how to approach the treatment of patients who have sustained more than one injury as a result of their trauma. This will allow them to know which injury to treat first and how to coordinate the patient’s overall care.
Orthopedic trauma doctors not only work closely with patients soon after their traumas but also during their recovery process. This oversight is primarily to help ensure that any broken bones heal correctly and are properly aligned, as well as to assure that the joint returns to maximum functionality and that no infections occur.
