Your Options for Traumatic Injury Treatment

During surgery, broken bones are set in place through a process called reduction. Closed reduction sets bones without cutting into the injured area. Open reduction requires an incision and may also involve the use of plates, screws or rods to keep the bones stable as they heal. Depending on the severity of your injury, corrective hardware may need to remain in place permanently.

You may be put in traction or given a cast, sling or splint to protect the injured area after corrective treatment. However, rehabilitation often begins as soon as possible. Immobilizing the area for too long can do more harm than good, and a proper rehab program is essential to prevent loss of strength and range of motion.

In the instance of an injury not requiring immediate treatment, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. Common specialties include:

• Foot and ankle surgery
• Hand surgery
• Hip and knee surgery
• Joint reconstruction
• Shoulder and elbow surgery
• Spinal surgery
• Sports medicine
