Trauma can
occur from high
energy injuries
or low energy
injuries that
result from
enough force to
cause a fracture
or significant
trauma within
our bodies.
After careful
physical
examination and
the use of
x-rays and
occasionally
specialized
testing, the
doctor will come
up with a
conclusion for
the treatment of
your orthopedic
factures or
injuries. This
may consist of
simple casting
or at times,
certain
fractures are
severe enough to
require surgical
techniques to
restore the
patient back to
a normal level
of function.
Trauma
usually results
from high energy
injuries and
fractures will
occur with high
velocity
injuries or low
velocity
injuries. There
are many types
of fractures
within the body.
The orthopedic
surgeon is
specialized to
be able to
handle all types
of fractures and
treatment and
restore patients
back to a
healthy
well-being.
