Trauma Surgery
Trauma refers to injuries sustained by various mechanisms, road accidents, falls, twists and sprains, etc. We treat various kinds of trauma cases that include cases of bones, joints and their associated structures that enable functional movements – tendons, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
Dr. Praveen Kumar Rao and team are equipped with the latest treatment guidelines and the most advanced and proven implants and rehabilitation regimen. Restoration of pre-injury functional status is our ultimate goal. We employ minimally invasive methods in most of our fracture fixation surgeries thus resulting in minimal pain and early discharge and return to normalcy.
Orthopedic trauma care covers the spectrum of simple isolated fractures to severe life threatening accidents with multiple broken bones. More significant injuries with multiple broken bones, compound fractures and fractures near a joint, and fractures of the pelvis are more difficult to treat, and benefit the most from specialized care.
Additionally, problems with healing including non-union, infections and healing with poor alignment are often treated by fracture specialists.
Our orthopedic trauma surgery program provides superior care to patients who have suffered a serious injury or accident. Our surgeons, who have years of specialty training and experience, are well equipped to handle multi-trauma patients with complex injuries.
With a dedicated orthopaedic trauma operating room and an extensive inpatient rehabilitation program, our trauma team is able to provide timely, compassionate treatment in moments of critical need. Because recovery can be lengthy, our surgeons and staff remain in close contact with patients throughout follow-up care and recovery.
