Our team will listen, evaluate, discuss and offer the most up-to-date options for your care. We comprehensively take care of fractures from the shoulder to wrist (along with our upper extremity specialists) and pelvis to the foot (along with our foot/ankle specialists), tailored to your specific needs. With expertise in acute trauma, as well as the late effects of injuries, our orthopaedic trauma team is a branch of orthopaedic surgery specializing in problems related to the bones and joints of the musculoskeletal system following trauma, including:

• Hindfoot & Ankle Fractures
• Leg & Knee Fractures
• Hip Fractures
• Pelvic and Acetabular (hip socket) Injuries
• Shoulder Fractures including Clavicle Fractures (collar bone) 
• Elbow & Forearm Fractures
• Hand Fractures & Wrist Fractures
• Fragility Fracture especially around the Hip 
• Malunion fractures 
• Osteoporosis fractures/breaks

Pelvic Fractures & Fractures Around Joints

We offer some fracture surgeries that aren’t readily available elsewhere, such as surgery for pelvic and acetabular fractures. We also treat problem fractures like those that occur around joints, expertly piecing the joint fragments back together. And other physicians often refer to us their patients with fractures that have failed to heal after initial treatment. Minimally invasive surgery options allow us to treat some fractures through small incisions so patients can get back to their lives as quickly as possible. In addition to trauma fractures, we also treat osteoporotic fractures and are part of the American Orthopaedic Association’s Own the Bone program to improve the care of fracture patients aged 50 and up. We provide our patients with education and treatment programs, intending to restore them to pre-fracture function as soon as possible after surgery. 

On average, it takes about 3 to 6 months for bones to heal after fracture surgery although overall recovery can take a year or longer. During that time, our partners in rehabilitation will begin working with you to increase your function, decrease your pain, and maximize your performance.
