Orthopedic surgeons are available along with general surgeons to handle accident cases and manage trauma. Health problems related to muscles, bones and body motion problems due to age or structural deformation due to accidents are treated with help from orthopedic surgeons.
Orthopedic trauma is a severe injury to part of the musculoskeletal system, and often the result of a sudden accident requiring immediate medical attention. While not all orthopedic trauma is life-threatening, it is life altering. Therefore, your choice of doctors is extremely important. Orthopedic trauma surgeons are able to follow patients through all stages of recovery and enlist the help of other specialists, if needed, to treat complex cases. By maintaining open communication with all providers, they are able to ensure each patient receives the care needed to resume a full and active lifestyle.
