Orthopedic Trauma Surgery
Each year, trauma accounts for 41 million emergency department visits and 2.3 million hospital admissions across the nation. Many of those trauma visits involve orthopedic injuries. These orthopedic injuries are unexpected, unwanted and often debilitating.
At Overlake Medical Center, we strive to return patients to their pre-injury quality of life. From straightforward ankle fractures to complex pelvic fractures, our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons use the most up-to-date and innovative techniques to get you back on you feet and back to your life.
