Orthopaedic trauma caused damaged to our bones, joints, ligaments or soft tissues after an injury. Types of traumatic injury are mentioned below:

Fractures: a broken bone is known as fracture, bone can be completely fractured or partially, an orthopaedic trauma may result in fractures like compound fractures (when injured bone pierced though the skin) or Comminuted fracture (fracture caused by high level of trauma like car crash)

Pelvic & Hip Fractures: when a complex fracture occurs it is not only affects the joints of the individual, but it also results the injury in soft tissues of pelvic area, similarly to pelvic fracture a hip fracture caused by a trauma can result multiple fracture of hip bones.

Traumatic Amputation: when an accident cause detachment of limb from rest of the body, in some cases some parts remain attached to the body. In such cases an orthopaedic surgeon will evaluate how to reattach the amputated part through surgery while in some cases an amputation is necessary to save the life of patient

Dislocation: in dislocation a bone get knocked out of its place, dislocation is painful injury of joints which result in temporary deformation of joints, a joint can be partially or fully dislocated. A traumatic fall may also result in luxation.
