Overview
Trauma & Fracture Care at a glance
Trauma care combines resuscitation judgement with fixation biomechanics, often under resource pressure.
This hub covers damage-control principles, open fracture pathways and nonunion strategy.
Common conditions
Presentations that dominate the clinic and emergency workload in this subspecialty.
Open tibial fracture
Time-critical antibiotics, debridement and soft-tissue planning.
Femoral shaft fracture
Nailing timing driven by physiological status.
Pelvic ring injury
Haemodynamic control before definitive fixation.
Periprosthetic fracture
Implant stability determines fix-versus-revise.
Nonunion and malunion
Mechanical, biological and infective causes must be separated.
Procedures
Core operative procedures, from day-care work to complex reconstruction.
Intramedullary nailing
Reamed nailing with entry-point and alignment discipline.
Plate osteosynthesis
Absolute versus relative stability by fracture personality.
External fixation
Temporising spanning frames and definitive circular frames.
Bone grafting and transport
Managing segmental defects.
Flap coverage coordination
Ortho-plastic timing for soft-tissue reconstruction.
Surgical techniques
Technical detail and decision points discussed by faculty in this hub.
Damage control orthopaedics
Staged care in the physiologically unstable patient.
Reduction manoeuvres and clamps
