General Orthopedic Trauma

General orthopedic trauma refers to injuries affecting the bones, joints, and muscles due to accidents or falls. This can include fractures (broken bones), dislocations (joints coming out of place), and soft tissue injuries like sprains or tendon tears. Such injuries can result from everyday activities, sports, or severe incidents like car accidents. Treatment often involves immobilization, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity. The main goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and promote healing so that individuals can return to their daily activities and lifestyle.
