Trauma & Fracture
Trauma refers to physical injuries caused by external force, while a fracture is a specific type of trauma involving a break in a bone.

Pelvic and acetabular fractures involve breaks or damage to the bones of the pelvis and the acetabulum, the socket of the hip joint. These fractures often occur due to high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from height. Pelvic fractures can vary in severity, from stable fractures that remain aligned to unstable fractures that cause significant displacement. Acetabular fractures involve breaks in the socket of the hip joint and can disrupt the joint's stability and function.

A fibula fracture is a common injury involving a break or crack in the fibula, the thinner of the two bones in the lower leg. These fractures can occur due to various factors, such as direct trauma, falls, or sports-related injuries.

Tibial fracture repair is a surgical procedure designed to address fractures in the tibia, the larger of the two bones in the lower leg. Typically conducted through minimally invasive techniques, surgeons use specialized instruments to realign fractured bone segments and stabilize them with screws, plates, or rods.

A femur fracture is a serious injury involving a break or crack in the femur, the longest and strongest bone in the body. These fractures can occur due to high-energy trauma, such as car accidents or falls from significant heights, or as a result of weakened bones in conditions like osteoporosis.

Common reasons for trauma surgery include severe injuries from motor vehicle accidents, falls from significant heights, gunshot wounds, and sports-related injuries. These incidents often result in fractures, internal bleeding, organ damage, and complex soft tissue injuries. Trauma surgery aims to stabilize the patient, repair damage, and prevent life-threatening complications, often involving multidisciplinary teams for comprehensive care and management.
Potential complications of trauma surgery include infections, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other risks involve poor wound healing, organ dysfunction, and complications from implants or surgical hardware. Long-term issues can include chronic pain, limited mobility, and the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Close monitoring and early intervention are crucial to mitigate these risks and promote successful recovery.
Critical elements of recovery and aftercare include proper wound care, pain management, and adherence to physical therapy programs. Nutrition and hydration play vital roles in healing, while regular follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor progress and address any complications. Psychological support is also important to help patients cope with trauma and adjust to lifestyle changes during the recovery period
The healing time for a broken bone typically ranges from six to eight weeks but can vary based on factors such as the type and location of the fracture, the patient’s age, overall health, and adherence to treatment protocols. More complex fractures or those involving larger bones may take longer to heal, and rehabilitation exercises are often required to restore full function
Polytrauma surgery involves the simultaneous treatment of multiple traumatic injuries that a patient sustains, often due to high-energy impacts like car accidents or explosions. These surgeries require a coordinated approach by a multidisciplinary team to address life-threatening injuries, stabilize the patient, and repair damaged tissues and organs. The goal is to manage the immediate critical injuries and plan for staged surgical interventions if needed.
