Overview

Trauma and deformity surgery is a specialized field of orthopedic surgery that addresses injuries like fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue damage. It also provides a solution for nonunion, a condition where a broken bone fails to heal properly, causing pain and a loss of function. This surgery uses various methods to treat nonunion, including bone grafting and internal or external fixation, to restore a bone’s ability to heal and correct deformities.
