Orthopaedic trauma covers a wide range of injuries — from simple long-bone fractures to complex intra-articular fractures and multi-ligament knee injuries. Modern fixation techniques aim for anatomical bone alignment, stable fixation and early controlled rehabilitation where safe.
The right treatment for a fracture depends on the pattern, location, bone quality, soft-tissue condition and the patient’s overall medical status. Not every fracture needs surgery; many do well with non-operative management when correctly selected.
Common trauma we assess and treat
Long-bone fractures
Humerus, forearm, femur, tibia and fibula fractures treated with locking plates, intramedullary nails or external fixation as appropriate.
Intra-articular fractures
Fractures involving the joint surfaces of the knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow or wrist, where anatomical reduction is important.
Hip fractures in older patients
Femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures managed with fixation or arthroplasty based on the fracture pattern and patient factors.
Open or complex fractures
Managed with appropriate soft-tissue care, debridement and staged fixation where indicated.
Fractures around implants
Peri-prosthetic fractures occurring near existing joint replacements.
Fixation approach
Fixation methods include locking plates, intramedullary nails, screws and external fixators, chosen based on fracture pattern, bone quality, soft-tissue condition and functional requirements. Early controlled mobilisation under physiotherapist supervision is used where the fixation and injury allow.
Realistic expectations. Modern trauma surgery aims to restore anatomy, enable early rehabilitation and reduce the risk of long-term disability. Outcomes depend on the severity of the injury, the quality of the bone and soft tissues, and the patient’s general health. Recognised risks include infection, non-union or delayed union, hardware-related issues, and the usual anaesthetic risks.
Assessment and initial treatment
Fracture care begins with assessment of the injury, skin, circulation and nerve function, supported by imaging. Treatment may involve a splint, cast, manipulation or hospital-based fixation. The plan depends on the fracture pattern, stability, soft tissues and the patient’s health.
Follow-up and rehabilitation
Follow-up checks healing, alignment, wound or cast condition and function. Weight-bearing and exercise instructions are specific to the injury and treatment. Ask when to return for review, how to look after a cast or wound and which changes need earlier medical attention.
When to go directly to hospital
Open injuries, visible deformity with severe pain, a cold or pale limb, new numbness or weakness, or major trauma need urgent hospital assessment. Clinic WhatsApp is for routine enquiries and is not an emergency service.

Frequently asked questions
Do all fractures need surgery?
No. Many fractures heal well with non-operative treatment such as casting, bracing or protected weight-bearing. The decision is made after examination and imaging.
How soon after a fracture can surgery be done?
This depends on the fracture pattern, the soft-tissue status, the patient’s overall condition and the resources available. Some injuries are managed urgently; others benefit from a short period of planning.
What is the recovery timeline?
Recovery varies by injury. The surgical team provides a specific plan including weight-bearing status, physiotherapy progression and expected timelines for your injury.
