Description

Complex trauma surgery refers to surgical procedures performed to treat severe injuries resulting from traumatic events such as car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or acts of violence. These injuries typically involve multiple body systems and structures and require specialized surgical interventions to restore function and prevent long-term disability or complications. Types of Injuries : 1.Orthopedic Injuries : Fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Articular Injuries : These injuries involve damage to the joints, including the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and ankle.Common types of articular injuries include intra-articular fractures (fractures that extend into the joint surface), dislocations, ligamentous injuries, and cartilage damage. 2.Pelvic Injuries : Pelvic fractures can result from high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, falls from height, or crush injuries. These fractures can be classified based on their stability (stable or unstable) and the location of the fracture lines within the pelvic ring (anterior, posterior, or combined).Unstable pelvic fractures may be associated with significant bleeding and visceral injuries, requiring emergent stabilization to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.
