Trauma Care

Specialized in treating complex, traumatic injuries and conditions

Home » Specialties » Trauma Care

Twin Cities Orthopedics trauma surgeons are experts in treating patients with complex muscle, bone, and joint injuries that result from traumatic episodes. Traumatic injuries can happen in many different ways, including vehicle accidents, slips and falls, workplace industrial accidents, and much more.

Orthopedic trauma specialists are typically called in immediately to treat complex orthopedic injuries at hospitals, but they also treat patients with lingering issues that result from previous trauma, such as poorly healed fractures and bone infections.

Similar to other orthopedic specialists, trauma surgeons receive additional specialty training in order to deeply understand the nuances of treating traumatic injuries to any part of the body. Our board certified specialists provide coverage at Level I, II and III hospital settings, ensuring all patients receive the most appropriate and timely care, so we can get patients back to normal activities as soon as possible.
