Fracture, Trauma & General Orthopaedic Surgery Expert Care for Injuries. Compassionate Support for Recovery. Accidents and injuries can happen when you least expect them. Whether it's a fall, a sports-related injury, a road traffic accident, or a workplace incident, fractures and musculoskeletal trauma require prompt, expert attention to ensure proper healing and restore function. At Dr. Ulhas Sonar's Orthopaedic Clinic, we provide comprehensive Fracture, Trauma & General Orthopaedic Surgery services. From simple fractures to complex polytrauma, we are equipped to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of orthopaedic injuries. Our approach combines advanced surgical techniques with compassionate, patient-centered care to help you recover fully and return to your daily life as quickly and safely as possible. Understanding Fractures & Trauma Fractures (broken bones) and other musculoskeletal injuries can range from minor cracks to severe, complex breaks involving multiple bones and soft tissues. Prompt and appropriate treatment is essential to ensure proper alignment, healing, and long-term function. Types of Fractures We Treat: Closed Fractures: The bone is broken but the skin is intact. Open (Compound) Fractures: The bone breaks through the skin, requiring urgent care to prevent infection. Comminuted Fractures: The bone is shattered into multiple pieces. Greenstick Fractures: An incomplete break, common in children. Stress Fractures: Hairline cracks caused by repetitive overuse. Avulsion Fractures: A fragment of bone is pulled away by a tendon or ligament. Pathological Fractures: Breaks caused by weakened bone due to conditions like osteoporosis or tumors. Other Orthopaedic Trauma We Treat: Joint dislocations (shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, etc.) Ligament and tendon injuries Sports-related musculoskeletal injuries Pelvic fractures Polytrauma (multiple injuries from major accidents) Our Surgical & Non-Surgical Services Non-Surgical Fracture Management: Not all fractures require surgery. For stable, non-displaced fractures, we offer expert non-surgical management, including: Casting & Splinting: Application of plaster or fiberglass casts to immobilize and protect the injured area. Functional Bracing: Specialized braces that allow controlled movement while promoting healing. Closed Reduction: Gentle manipulation to realign the bone without surgery, followed by casting. Surgical Fracture Fixation: For fractures that are displaced, unstable, or involve joints, surgical intervention is often necessary. We utilize the latest techniques to restore alignment and stability, including: Open Reduction & Internal Fixation (ORIF): Surgically realigning the bone fragments and securing them with plates, screws, nails, or rods. Intramedullary Nailing: Inserting a metal rod into the hollow center of long bones (such as the femur or tibia) to provide stability. External Fixation: Using a frame outside the body to stabilize fractures, often in cases of severe open fractures or polytrauma. Minimally Invasive Fracture Surgery: Techniques that use smaller incisions to reduce tissue damage and speed up recovery. General Orthopaedic Surgery: Beyond fractures and trauma, we provide a full range of general orthopaedic surgical services for various musculoskeletal conditions, including: Removal of painful hardware (plates, screws) Treatment of bone infections (osteomyelitis) Surgery for non-healing fractures (non-unions) Treatment of joint contractures and adhesions Surgical management of orthopaedic complications Common Orthopaedic Emergencies We Treat Ankle Fractures & Dislocations: Common injuries from falls or twists. Wrist & Forearm Fractures: Including Colles' fractures from falls on an outstretched hand. Hip Fractures: Frequently seen in older adults, requiring prompt surgical intervention. Shoulder Dislocations & Fractures: Often from sports or falls. Knee & Patella Fractures: Including fractures around the knee joint. Hand & Finger Fractures: Requiring precise treatment to preserve fine motor function. Clavicle (Collarbone) & Scapula Fractures: Common from falls or direct blows. Pelvic Fractures: Often from high-energy trauma, requiring multidisciplinary care. Why Prompt Treatment Matters Seeking immediate medical attention for fractures and trauma is crucial because: Early Alignment: Properly aligned bones heal faster and with better function. Reduced Complications: Timely treatment lowers the risk of infection, nerve damage, and blood vessel injury. Faster Recovery: Early intervention minimizes muscle wasting and joint stiffness. Better Long-Term Outcomes: Properly treated fractures result in less chronic pain and arthritis. Your Recovery Journey Emergency Consultation & Diagnosis: When you arrive at our clinic or hospital, Dr. Sonar and his team will conduct a thorough evaluation, including a detailed physical examination and advanced imaging (X-rays, CT scans, or MRI) to accurat
