Trauma Care

Complex Trauma & Fracture Care

Treatment of simple and complex fractures involving upper and lower limbs, periarticular injuries, and trauma-related orthopedic conditions.

About Complex Trauma & Fracture Care

Fracture care requires accurate diagnosis, appropriate fixation, and a structured rehabilitation plan to restore full function. Dr. Sachin Sharma manages a wide spectrum of fractures — from simple isolated fractures to complex periarticular and multi-fragment injuries — using both surgical and non-surgical methods guided by the best available evidence.

Types of Fractures Treated

Upper Limb Fractures: Fractures of the shoulder, humerus, elbow, forearm, wrist, and hand.

Lower Limb Fractures: Fractures of the femur, tibia, fibula, ankle, and foot.

Periarticular Fractures: Fractures around joints such as the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle that require careful management to preserve joint function.

Open Fractures: Fractures with skin breach requiring urgent surgical management to prevent infection and promote healing.

Surgical Fixation Methods

Depending on the fracture pattern and location, treatment may involve intramedullary nailing, plating and screw fixation, external fixation, or a combination of techniques. The goal is stable fixation that allows early movement and prevents complications such as malunion, nonunion, or stiffness.

Non-surgical Management

Many fractures can be managed non-surgically with appropriate immobilisation using casts, braces, or splints. The decision between surgical and non-surgical treatment is made after careful evaluation of the fracture characteristics, patient factors, and functional goals.

Rehabilitation

Early mobilisation where possible helps prevent muscle wasting, stiffness, and complications such as deep vein thrombosis. A structured physiotherapy programme is tailored to each patient's fracture and fixation method.

Key Highlights

Key Benefits
Stable Fixation Precise surgical fixation allows early mobilisation and prevents complications.
Early Mobilisation Structured plans to start movement as soon as safely possible.
Evidence-Based Care All treatment decisions guided by current best evidence and clinical experience.
Faster Healing Optimised nutrition, fixation, and physiotherapy to support fracture healing.
Process / Steps
1
Emergency Assessment Immediate evaluation, X-rays, and CT scan to classify the fracture and plan treatment.
2
Fracture Stabilisation Temporary or definitive fixation to restore alignment and stability.
3
Surgery (if required) Internal or external fixation using appropriate implants based on fracture pattern.
4
Pain Management Multimodal pain control to ensure comfort and enable early physiotherapy.
5
Rehabilitation Progressive physiotherapy to restore strength, movement, and function.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a fracture take to heal?
Healing time depends on the bone involved, fracture type, and patient factors. Simple fractures may heal in 6–8 weeks; complex fractures can take 3–6 months or longer.
Do all fractures need surgery?
No. Many fractures heal well with conservative management. Surgery is recommended when stable fixation is needed for early mobilisation or when non-surgical methods cannot maintain acceptable alignment.
Can I drive during fracture recovery?
This depends on the limb involved and the stage of recovery. Your surgeon will advise when it is safe to resume driving.
