Orthopaedic trauma surgeons have received training in the field of orthopaedic surgery with a specialized focus on the treatment of fractured bones, multiple injuries, compound fracture.

Orthopaedic trauma such as fractures can occur to anyone, at any time. In particular, the treatment of a fracture focuses on restoring function as quickly and as fully as possible. While many fractures will heal on their own, some need to be treated surgically for optimal outcomes. Although orthopaedic physicians would rather treat injuries with non-surgical methods such as physical therapy, in the case of trauma, surgical treatment often ensures a more complete recovery, and allows for restoring function more quickly.
