Typical symptoms
- • Acute deformity, inability to bear weight, or an open wound after trauma
- • Persistent pain or angulation after previous fracture treatment
- • Sudden pain and inability to walk around a hip or knee replacement
High-energy periarticular fractures, open injuries, and established non-unions or malunions require anatomical reduction and stable fixation. Prosthetic dislocation and periprosthetic fractures are managed on a tertiary trauma pathway.
How we evaluate
- • Trauma series radiographs and CT for intra-articular fragments
- • Vascular and soft-tissue assessment in high-energy injuries
- • Planning for MIPO, locking plates, or revision stems as indicated
