Traumatic fractures occur in the presence of a significant impact or force. Most of these injuries would be considered “displaced” fractures. A displaced fracture occurs when there is a noticeable movement away from the normal position of the bone. This type of fracture cannot be repaired with standard castings or splints and will require surgical treatment such as re-set and realigning the fragment ends.
On any given day, our orthopedic surgeons are working to save a limb, stabilize a complex fracture, correct a deformity, or heal a bone infection. They're working with other doctors, coordinating your care with a rehabilitation specialist, or providing additional training to paramedics.
