Trauma care encompasses the specialized medical attention provided to individuals who have sustained traumatic injuries, such as those resulting from accidents, falls, or other unforeseen events. These injuries can range from simple fractures to severe trauma affecting the different areas of the body. Trauma care involves a multidisciplinary approach, often requiring the expertise of trauma surgeons, orthopaedic specialists, emergency physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
Patients receive prompt assessment and stabilization in the emergency department or trauma center to address critical conditions and prevent further complications. Trauma surgeons diagnose injuries, manage bleeding, and initiate treatment to optimize patient outcomes. Additionally, trauma care addresses associated injuries and provides comprehensive support throughout the healing and recovery process.
Fracture care encompasses the comprehensive treatment provided to individuals who have sustained broken bones, ranging from simple fractures to complex injuries requiring surgical intervention. When a fracture occurs, whether in the shoulder, humerus, elbow or any other area, prompt and appropriate care is essential to promote healing and prevent further complications.

At Orthopaedic Associates of Zanesville, we provide both non-surgical and surgical treatments for our trauma patients. Treatments will depend on the severity and complexity of the injury.
Non-surgical treatments play a crucial role in fracture treatment, offering conservative approaches to promote healing and restore function without the need for invasive procedures. These treatments are often provided for simple fractures or cases where surgical intervention is not immediately required.
In cases where fractures require more than conservative management, surgical intervention becomes necessary to realign bones, stabilize joints, and promote optimal healing.
