Trauma (Fractures)
Our Orthopedic Trauma physicians specialize in complex trauma and fracture care, including pelvis and acetabular fracture fixation, deformity correction, infection, malunion and nonunion (non-healed) of fractures as well as complex hip and knee revision surgery for failed joint replacement. Our team will create a treatment strategy to restore function and improve or preserve quality of life.

- Fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum
- Nonunions (unhealed fractures, especially those of the tibia, humerus, femur, and clavicle)
