Trauma And Fractures

Trauma

In our Emergency & Trauma facility or injured patients with life-threatening conditions, are immediately taken under the care of a team of specialized emergency doctors and the patient is evaluated, resuscitated and stabilized as per protocols.

Trauma And Fractures

Patients of all ages can experience trauma and fractures.These serious injuries can occur during auto accidents,Life-threatening falls,trival trauma and other scenarios.Unfortunately,they can have a long term impact on patients functionally and even affect their quality of life.

We have pioneered surgical techniques and technology to improve results for patients who have experienced traumatic injuries

Conditions

Bone fractures are extremely common resulting in isolated fractures and dislocation, we treat the full range of these injuries, no matter how complex, including long bone fractures of upper and lower extremity. we also specialize in treating post-traumatic conditions such as malunions, non-unions and osteomyelitis (infection to bone).

Trauma And Fractures Symptoms:

• Deformed bone accompanied by broken skin or visible bone
• pain
• swelling, bruising, tenderness, abnormal mobility

Diagnosis:

Fractures and post-traumatic orthopaedic conditions are typically diagnosed with a combination of a physical examination and imaging.

Frcatures are usually diagnosed using X-rays other modalities might also be used CT-scan and MRI.

Treatment

Fractures of upperlimb, lowerlimb,pelvis and post traumatic conditions can be treated with surgical and nonsurgical procedures depending on the condition.

Common nonsurgical procedures include:

• Immobilizing devices such as casts,splints,braces and traction.
• Medication such as antibiotics for infection
• physiotherapy

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation:

Frcature site is adequately exposed and reduction of fracture is done. Internal fixation is done using devices such as k-wires, plates, screws and Intramedullary nails.

External Fixation

Exfix is a procedure done in

• Open fractures
• Comminuted and unstable fractures
• Limb lengthening procedures
• Fractures with infections or non-union

We work with each patient to choose a personalized treatment likely to have the best long term outcome.
