Orthopaedic Trauma & Fracture Care
Bone fractures can happen to anyone, at any time in their life and in any part of the body. These are always unexpected, caused by falling, jumping, sports injuries, vehicle accidents or when the bone is struck or undergoes extreme pressure that causes a break.
If you or a loved one has a fracture, Rothman’s Orthopaedic Trauma and Fracture specialists can help.
They are on hand at many of the region’s major trauma centers, teaming up with other specialists to ensure you receive optimal care for all your injuries.
Our specialists can also be brought in as consultants when you’re admitted to a hospital that’s not a major trauma center. Our specially trained physicians can see you if a fracture doesn’t heal properly, quickly, or provide full functionality.
Rothman fracture care physicians are renowned experts who use time-tested treatments along with the latest techniques and technology. They have the training and expertise to surgically repair more complex fracture injuries that can’t be treated with casts or braces like simpler fractures.
In every case, Rothman’s Orthopaedic Trauma and Fracture Care physicians and their teams are dedicated to providing the best care to ensure you heal as quickly and completely as possible.
