Orthopedic Trauma and Joint Replacement at Acme Hospital
Orthopedic trauma is a term that refers to any injury to the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves that is caused by an external force, such as a fall, a car accident, or a violent attack1. These injuries can range from simple fractures to complex injuries that require multiple surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. Orthopedic trauma can affect any part of the body, but some common areas are the spine, pelvis, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand.
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged or diseased joint and replacing it with an artificial one. The most common joints that are replaced are the hip and knee, but other joints such as the shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist can also be replaced. Joint replacement can improve the quality of life for people who suffer from chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility due to arthritis or other joint conditions.

Our surgeons use the latest techniques and technologies to provide the best possible care for our patients.
