Surgical Treatment for Orthopaedic Trauma

Surgical treatment for orthopedic trauma involves operating to fix broken bones or injuries to joints and soft tissues. Surgeons may realign fractured bones, stabilize them with plates, screws, or rods, and repair damaged ligaments or tendons. The goal is to restore proper function, reduce pain, and promote healing. These procedures are tailored to the injury’s severity and location and are often essential when conservative treatments like casting aren’t enough. Ultimately, surgical intervention helps ensure the injury heals correctly, enabling patients to regain mobility and resume normal activities safely.
