Orthopaedic Trauma

Orthopaedic trauma is a severe injury to part of the musculoskeletal system and this is often due to major accidents that require immediate medical action. While not all orthopaedic trauma is life-threatening, it is certainly life-altering.

 

Orthopaedic trauma needs immediate medical assistance. The orthopaedicians at Borkar Hospital deal with all kinds of orthopaedic trauma injuries. 

 

All types of non-surgical and surgical treatments are available for orthopaedic trauma. They not only help patients recover from the condition but also lend them unbiased second opinions, offer speciality care as well as extend post-traumatic reconstruction for the required joints.

 

Surgical Treatment for Orthopaedic Trauma 

 

There is a wide array of surgeries available for orthopaedic trauma treatment. Some of the primary surgery options that are available at Borkar Hospital are:

 

• Plating/ Nailing for all types of fractures - Fractures of the bone can be very painful and may also involve swelling. All types of fractures may not require surgeries. However, open and unstable fractures like segmental fractures generally require surgical intervention.

 

• Non-unions and Mal-unions Fractures - Non-union fractures generally take place when the endings of broken bones do not heal. Whereas a mal-union fracture takes place when the bones heal but do not get properly lined up or aligned. Both these conditions can be diagnosed by x-ray. 

 

• Reconstruction and Repair of the shoulder, hip, and pelvis -
  Damaged shoulder, hip, and pelvis joints can cause unbearable and intense pain, stiffness, and immobility. To deal with such cases, reconstruction and repair surgery may be required. Such surgeries help to regain mobility, provide relief from pain, and help patients return to their regular activities. 
• Arthroscopy-assisted intra-articular fracture mitigation -
  Treatment of intra-articular fractures and injuries of the soft tissue can be done with the help of arthroscopy. This Arthroscopy-assisted fracture reduction method has proved to be very effective in dealing with disorders like- triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears, Scapholunate (SL) ligament tears, and lunotriquetral (LT) ligament tears. We, at Neem Tree, provide Arthroscopy-assisted treatment methods for the reduction of Intra-articular Fractures.

Acetabular and pelvis Fractures -
Surgery for acetabular fractures may be suggested in case of incongruity within the acetabulum. This condition is generally very painful and may result in hip fusion. Surgeries can help in restoring normal acetabulum shape, decreasing pain, and reducing the requirement of hip replacement.
