Orthopedic trauma is a subspecialty of orthopedics that covers acute bone, joint, and soft tissue injuries that follow a traumatic incident. Traumatic incidents can range from simple falls at home to more serious events such as car accidents.

After an accurate diagnosis, many fractures can be treated with casting or splinting. However, some fractures require complex surgery or targeted rehabilitation and can even be life-threatening.

Why Choose Orthopedic Associates of Dutchess County for Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Care?

After experiencing a fracture, you will often be admitted to an Urgent Care or Emergency Room. You can then request a specific surgeon, elect to be transferred or be discharged to follow up with a specialist of your choice.

Due to the dynamic nature of a fracture, traumatic injuries require prompt evaluation and treatment. It is important to receive appropriate care from the onset to achieve the best outcomes, as fractures become more difficult to fix later.
