Trauma
 Trauma Doctors - left to right: David Barei, Chris Allan, Doug Hanel, Chip Routt, Lisa Taitsman, Bruce Sangeorzan, Sohail Mirza, and Sean Nork Orthopedic trauma conditions include fractures and dislocations as
well as severe soft tissue injuries caused by traumatic events. Common
orthopedic traumatic injuries include femoral and tibial shaft
fractures, acetabular and pelvic fractures,
spine and spinal cord injuries, hand and upper extremity injuries, foot
and ankle injuries, among many others. Polytraumatized patients are
those unique individuals with numerous skeletal and other primary organ
system injuries, usually caused by high energy traumatic events. We
coordinate the orthopedic portion of the patient's care with other
subspecialties in order to optimize the clinical outcome.
We provide numerous orthopedic services including skeletal
realignments and stabilizations using closed, percutaneous, external,
and internal fixation techniques. Similarly, we treat associated soft
tissue injuries using a variety of methods. Another of our "services"
is advancing the orthopedic trauma education of physicians and medical
personnel--locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally. We
also provide innovative orthopedic trauma research, which further
improves clinical care.
