Your Questions Answered 

Orthopedic Trauma Treatment Q&A

What is orthopedic trauma?

Orthopedic trauma is the treatment of serious injuries involving bones, joints, and soft tissues caused by falls, vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or other sudden events. It commonly includes fractures, dislocations, and injuries that require urgent orthopedic care. 

When should I see an orthopedic trauma specialist?

You should seek orthopedic trauma care after a broken bone, joint dislocation, severe swelling, inability to bear weight, deformity, or significant pain after an injury. Prompt evaluation can help reduce complications and support proper healing. 

How are fractures treated at LBJI?

Fracture treatment depends on the location, severity, and stability of the break. Some fractures heal with casting, splinting, or bracing, while others require surgery to restore alignment and stabilize the bone with plates, screws, rods, or pins. 

What happens during fracture surgery?

Fracture surgery is performed to realign broken bones and secure them in the proper position while they heal. Depending on the injury, your surgeon may use plates, screws, rods, pins, or external fixation devices. The goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and promote healing. 

What if my fracture is not healing correctly?

If a fracture heals slowly, heals in poor alignment, or does not heal at all, additional treatment may be recommended. This can include bone grafting, revision fixation, or other reconstructive procedures to improve healing and restore function.
