Orthopaedic Trauma Doctor
At University Orthopaedic Surgeons, we are committed to providing the orthopaedic trauma care patients need to excel. We proudly serve our communities in Knoxville, Sevierville, and the surrounding areas with specialized and compassionate care from our highly trained and skilled doctors, surgeons, and staff.
Traumatic injuries to the musculoskeletal system are unique in nature, due to their sudden onset and their requirement for immediate care and treatment. They can happen for a number of different reasons, such as a car accident, fall, sports-related incident, or other high-impact incident. Orthopaedic trauma specialists have extensive experience in caring for patients with complicated traumatic injuries affecting the body's bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments.
Serious orthopaedic fractures and injuries often require both immediate and follow-up care. Fracture care and reconstruction includes preoperative evaluations, diagnostic testing, patient education and counseling, surgical repair, wound care, and the application and removal of casts and splints. Our trauma doctors treat many common traumatic injuries, such as:
- Acetabulum fractures
- Complex fractures
- Deformities
- Dislocations
- Nonunion fractures
- One or more broken bones
- Pelvis fractures
- Periarticular fractures
- Septic nonunion fractures
- Sports-related injuries
Our trauma doctors will always attempt nonsurgical treatment options first; however, there are many cases when surgery is the best option to restore maximum function. Our team of expert trauma doctors has extensive experience performing trauma surgery and provides orthopaedic trauma services for the only Level I Trauma Center in East Tennessee. Under the leadership of our surgeons, our team of physician assistants, nurses, and administrative staff work together to deliver high-quality, coordinated orthopaedic trauma care in both outpatient and inpatient hospital settings.
Visiting a medical doctor is recommended if your condition meets any of the following criteria:
- You experience severe pain when trying to bear weight or move the injured joint
- You have an obvious deformity
- You have discoloration around the affected area
- You have severe swelling, redness, and bruising around the affected area
