Trauma (Fractures)

Our Orthopedic Trauma physicians specialize in complex trauma and fracture care, including pelvis and acetabular fracture fixation, deformity correction, infection, malunion and nonunion (non-healed) of fractures as well as complex hip and knee revision surgery for failed joint replacement.  Our team will create a treatment strategy to restore function and improve or preserve quality of life.

Conditions We Treat

  • Complex fractures and dislocations
  • Fractures of the upper extremity (clavicle, shoulder, upper arm, humerus, elbow, forearm, radius, ulna, olecranon, etc.)
  • Fractures of the lower extremity (hip, femur, thigh, knee, patella, tibial plateau, tibia, fibula, ankle, foot, calcaneus, talus, etc.)
  • Fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum
  • Nonunions (unhealed fractures, especially those of the tibia, humerus, femur, and clavicle)
  • Malunions (poorly healed or crooked fractures, especially those requiring corrective osteotomies)
  • Infections associated with fractures
  • Osteomyelitis (infections of bone)
  • Complex hip and knee revision surgery for failed joint replacement

Diagnosis

Fractures are most often diagnosed using x-rays, CT scanning, MRI scanning, and ultrasound, in combination with physical examination.
