Traumatic Injuries Surgery
Traumatic injuries can result from accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence, leading to severe damage to the skin, muscles, nerves, and bones. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons specialize in trauma surgery to restore function, aesthetics, and mobility while preventing complications.
What Are Traumatic Injuries?
A traumatic injury is sudden, severe damage caused by an external force, leading to:
- Soft tissue injuries (lacerations, skin loss, burns)
- Facial fractures (jaw, nose, orbital bones)
- Hand & limb trauma (crush injuries, amputations)
- Nerve & tendon damage
- Complex wound management (open fractures, exposed bone/tendons)
Who Needs Traumatic Injury Surgery?
Patients with:
- Deep lacerations or skin loss requiring reconstruction
- Severe facial or hand fractures affecting function and appearance
- Tendon or nerve injuries needing repair
- Complex wounds or burns requiring grafting or flap surgery
- Post-trauma deformities needing reconstruction

- Soft Tissue Repair – Suturing deep cuts, skin grafting, and flap surgery
- Fracture Fixation – Reconstructing facial and limb fractures
- Nerve & Tendon Repair – Restoring movement and sensation
- Reimplantation & Limb Salvage – Reattaching severed limbs or fingers
- Scar Revision & Functional Reconstruction – Improving appearance and mobility
Benefits of Traumatic Injury Surgery
- Restores Functionality – Helps regain movement and strength
