We face trauma mostly with a surprise such as fall, sports injury, occupational
accident or traffic accident. The damage ranges from a simple soft tissue
injury to fragmented fractures of large bones depending on severity of trauma.

It is very crucial that the trauma patient is admitted and first interventions are
made by a specialist.

Approaches and surgical techniques for treatment of fractures are continuously updated.
The aim is to help patient return to daily life in shortest time possible
without any problem.
