Why a Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon?
Usually just after an accident or when a traumatic bone injury happens a patient is unsure of what type of doctor to see because they cannot analyze the amount of damage to the bones or the soft tissues. When a trauma patient enters the emergency room, physicians can help with the immediate first aid and recommend a trauma specialist to take care of the longer term surgeries and follow-up care. It is a good idea to stick to a single orthopedic trauma specialist who can best handle the number of different injuries as they can understand the complications and optimize the treatment accordingly.
Orthopaedic Trauma Specialists are experts in handling this area as they go through a fellowship program during which they have received specialized training in the treatment of traumatic injuries. Therefore, they are better equipped with the skills and experience needed to maximize the results while minimizing patient distress.
Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon also work with other specialists like plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, or experts in vascular surgery to repair the injuries in collaboration. For example, in some extreme traumatic accident cases, the patient might need an orthopedic surgeon to be repairing the broken bones while also attending to the associated soft tissues, vasculature, and surrounding nerves.
A patient who experiences orthopedic trauma may be in recovery for a few months. Recovery times might be as low as a few weeks to a few months or sometimes a year. Orthopaedic Trauma Specialists are also experts in assessing the range of treatments and their recovery times and any complications and issues that can crop long after the recovery. A trauma specialist needs to create a treatment plan to get the patient with all his complexities back to normal or close to normal lifestyle and quality of life.
