Musculoskeletal Trauma

Musculoskeletal trauma refers to injuries involving the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or joints. These injuries can result from accidents, falls, or impacts, causing fractures, dislocations, sprains, or strains. Such trauma can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected area. Proper diagnosis often requires physical exams and imaging like X-rays. Treatment varies from rest and immobilization to surgery, depending on injury severity. Prompt medical attention helps ensure proper healing and prevents long-term issues, restoring function and reducing pain.
