TRAUMA
Ortho trauma refers to injuries involving the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. It commonly occurs due to accidents, falls, sports-related incidents, or other traumatic events. At London Ortho Hospital, we specialize in providing comprehensive orthopaedic trauma care to restore mobility and function for patients affected by these injuries.
Causes
Ortho trauma can result from a variety of causes, including motor vehicle accidents, falls from heights, sports injuries, workplace incidents, or other traumatic events. Common injuries include fractures, dislocations, ligament tears, tendon injuries, and complex musculoskeletal trauma.
When to See the Doctor
If you experience severe pain, swelling, deformity, inability to bear weight, loss of motion, or an open wound after an injury, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications and optimize outcomes.
Treatment and Surgery Options
Treatment for ortho trauma depends on the specific injury and its severity. Non-surgical interventions may include immobilization with casts or braces, medication for pain and inflammation, physical therapy, and assistive devices. In cases of severe or complex fractures, joint dislocations, or extensive soft tissue damage, surgical intervention may be required. Surgical options may involve fracture fixation with plates, screws, or nails, joint reconstruction, or soft tissue repair.
