Orthopedic trauma is a branch of orthopedic surgery specializing in treatment of severe musculoskeletal injuries and related complications. Orthopedic trauma surgeons at Commonwealth Health treat everything from injuries following accidents and falls, to chronic orthopedic conditions and the most severe cases of multiple trauma. Orthopedic trauma team members draw on the experience of other specialists as needed, offering quality, integrated care.

The orthopedic trauma team at Commonwealth Health uses minimally invasive and robotic surgery for fractures and soft-tissue repairs when possible. We provide a range of services, including:

• Bone and joint transplantation
• Care for infected fractures and osteomyelitis
• Complex soft-tissue reconstruction, including large tendon and muscle repairs
• Correction of post-traumatic deformities
• Treatment of acute, non-healing (nonunions) or improperly healing (malunions) fractures
• Pelvis and acetabulum surgery
• Treatment of bacterial infections
• Minimally invasive bone grafting
• Reconstruction of pelvis/hip, foot/ankle and upper extremity
• Rehabilitative care to improve mobility, strength and endurance

The orthopedic trauma team is focused on helping patients regain as much mobility and functioning as possible.
