Shoulder and Elbow Orthopedic Trauma

Shoulder and elbow orthopedic trauma refers to injuries in the shoulder and elbow areas, often caused by falls, sports accidents, or collisions. Common types of injuries include fractures (broken bones), dislocations (bones misaligned at the joint), and ligament tears. These injuries can result in pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the arm. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on the severity. Timely and appropriate care is crucial for restoring function and preventing long-term complications. If you suspect such an injury, seeking medical attention is essential for proper evaluation and treatment.
