Orthopaedic Trauma Conditions
Trauma conditions may affect mobility, independence, work, sport and confidence after an unexpected injury. Assessment focuses on the fracture pattern, joint alignment, soft-tissue injury, nerve and tendon function, and whether symptoms are best treated with immobilisation, rehabilitation, minimally invasive fixation, reconstructive surgery or joint replacement when the injury involves severe joint damage.
