Lower Extremity Orthopedic Trauma

Lower extremity orthopedic trauma refers to injuries affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the legs, hips, and feet. Common causes include falls, car accidents, or sports injuries, resulting in fractures, dislocations, or ligament tears. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected area. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the injury's severity. The goal is to restore function, relieve pain, and enable patients to return to their daily activities as safely and quickly as possible.
