Complex Trauma Care

Management of complex fractures and high-energy orthopaedic injuries.

Complex orthopaedic trauma may include:

  • ✔ Comminuted fractures
  • ✔ Open fractures
  • ✔ Periarticular fractures
  • ✔ Pelvic and acetabular injuries
  • ✔ Multiple fractures
  • ✔ Fracture-dislocations
  • ✔ Injuries involving significant soft-tissue damage

Treatment Modalities

Treatment may involve a combination of:

  • - Temporary or definitive external fixation
  • - Internal fixation using plates and screws
  • - Intramedullary nailing
  • - Percutaneous fixation
  • - Soft-tissue management
  • - Staged reconstruction

Staged Treatment Approach

In selected high-energy injuries, treatment may follow a staged approach:

Stage 1: Initial Stabilisation

Stabilisation of the patient and injured limb, management of soft tissues, and temporary fixation when required.

Stage 2: Definitive Reconstruction

Definitive fixation once the patient and surrounding soft tissues are suitable for further surgery.

Stage 3: Rehabilitation

Progressive movement, strengthening, weight-bearing, and functional rehabilitation according to the injury and reconstruction.
