Excellence in Orthopedic Trauma Care: What to Expect
At Advanced Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our trauma specialists strive to provide the best trauma care available in northwest Kentucky.
Our trauma experts have extensive knowledge about the musculoskeletal system as well as the different types of trauma conditions and injuries patients may experience. They also understand that each patient is unique. That’s why they are committed to taking a patient-centered approach to care to provide each patient with the best treatment solution.
When developing a personalized treatment plan, our specialists will first recommend any applicable conservative treatment options. These nonsurgical treatments may include receiving physical therapy from a physical therapist, wearing a brace, or taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Many times, these measures can bring about gradual improvements that can greatly reduce or eliminate the pain you are experiencing.
However, if nonoperative care is not effective or your injury is too severe, our orthopedic trauma surgeons will discuss your surgical options and help you determine which surgery is right for you. Rest assured that our surgeons not only have the expertise and exceptional skills needed to perform the required surgery, but they also have access to leading-edge surgical equipment, which helps to ensure the best outcomes possible.
If our trauma surgeons believe that a special type of surgery, such as fracture repair or arthroscopic surgery, is the best option for your trauma condition or injury, they will educate you on the full process and the steps involved in your recovery as well as answer any questions you may have.
