Fracture Fixation & Trauma

Fracture Fixation & Trauma

Dr. Raj Vhatkar is an experienced Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in Fracture Fixation and Trauma Surgery. He provides expert management for all types of fractures — from simple breaks to complex trauma cases. Using the latest surgical techniques and fixation systems, Dr. Vhatkar ensures stable bone healing, early mobility, and reduced recovery time. His approach emphasizes precise alignment, minimal tissue damage, and comprehensive rehabilitation, allowing patients to return to their daily routines safely and efficiently.

Conditions Treated:

  • Simple and compound fractures
  • Multiple fractures due to high-impact trauma
  • Fractures with bone displacement or misalignment
  • Open (exposed) and closed fractures
  • Non-union or delayed healing fractures
  • Periprosthetic fractures (around implants)
  • Soft tissue injuries and joint dislocations
  • Post-traumatic deformities

Treatments:

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)

A surgical procedure where broken bones are repositioned and stabilized using plates, screws, or rods to ensure proper alignment and healing.

External Fixation

Used for severe fractures or open wounds, this involves stabilizing the bone externally with a frame and pins, allowing better wound care and alignment.

Intramedullary Nailing

A rod is inserted into the bone marrow canal to stabilize long bone fractures such as those of the femur or tibia, allowing early mobility and faster healing.

Minimally Invasive Fracture Fixation

Modern techniques that use small incisions and specialized implants to minimize soft tissue trauma, reduce pain, and speed up recovery.

Complex Trauma Reconstruction

For patients with multiple injuries or severely displaced fractures, specialized reconstructive procedures are performed to restore limb function and alignment.

Advantages of Advanced Fracture Fixation:

  • Stable bone fixation and accurate alignment
  • Faster bone healing and recovery
  • Reduced risk of complications or deformity
  • Minimally invasive techniques with smaller scars
  • Earlier return to normal mobility and daily activities
  • Effective management for both simple and complex trauma cases

Key Highlights:

  • Expert in handling emergency and high-impact trauma cases
  • Use of advanced fixation devices and modern surgical techniques
  • Focus on early mobilization and functional recovery
  • Comprehensive care from injury to rehabilitation
  • Experienced team for polytrauma and multiple fracture management
  • Emphasis on minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic outcomes

Recovery Time:

Recovery after fracture fixation depends on the type and severity of the fracture. Most patients can begin limited movement within a few days post-surgery, with complete bone healing typically taking 6–12 weeks. Early physiotherapy and rehabilitation are crucial to restore strength, mobility, and flexibility. With proper care and guidance from Dr. Vhatkar, patients can expect a full return to function with minimal complications.
