Prompt, Skilled Care for Bone and Joint Injuries
Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can happen suddenly — leaving you with severe pain, swelling, or an inability to move your limb. In these moments, what you need most is quick, expert medical care.
At Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, Dr. Siddharth Jain, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma and sports injury specialist, provides comprehensive trauma surgery in Nagpur — treating fractures, joint dislocations, ligament injuries, and complex bone trauma with advanced surgical and rehabilitation methods.
His goal: to relieve pain, restore function, and help every patient regain mobility safely.
What Is Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery?
Orthopaedic trauma surgery focuses on repairing injuries to bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues after accidents or high-impact events.
It’s not just about fixing a broken bone; it’s about restoring the entire limb or joint so it works properly again.
Types of Trauma
Different injuries need different approaches. Dr. Jain treats the full range of trauma cases from simple fractures to complex, multi-joint injuries.
Fractures (Broken Bones)
- Simple (Closed) Fractures: The bone is broken, but the skin remains intact.
- Open (Compound) Fractures: Bone pierces through the skin — a surgical emergency due to infection risk.
- Comminuted Fractures: Bone breaks into multiple pieces; requires plates or nails for fixation.
- Intra-articular Fractures: The break extends into the joint — needs precise alignment for smooth movement.
Dislocations
- When a bone slips out of its normal position in the joint (common in shoulders, elbows, knees, and hips).
- May require urgent reduction (re-positioning) or surgical stabilisation if repeated.
Soft-Tissue and Ligament Trauma
- High-impact injuries can tear ligaments or tendons (e.g., ACL, PCL, rotator cuff).
- Arthroscopic surgery may be used for precise ligament repair.
Polytrauma (Multiple Injuries)
- When several body parts are injured (e.g., in road accidents or falls from height).
- Requires coordinated care to stabilise the patient and treat all fractures safely.
Sports-Related Trauma
- Includes ligament tears, cartilage injuries, and joint dislocations caused by sudden twists, falls, or tackles.
- Treated with a focus on preserving joint health and ensuring full return to activity.
Why Timely Trauma Surgery Matters
Delaying or ignoring treatment can cause:
- Improper bone healing (malunion)
- Stiffness or deformity in joints
- Chronic pain and weakness
- Infection or non-healing wounds
- Permanent disability
Early surgical care ensures proper alignment, faster recovery, and better long-term movement.
How Trauma Surgery Is Performed
Initial Assessment & Imaging
X-rays or CT/MRI scans identify bone, joint, and soft-tissue damage.
Surgical Repair
- Fractures are fixed with plates, screws, rods, or nails.
- Ligaments are repaired or reconstructed if needed.
- Open wounds are cleaned and protected from infection.
Post-operative Care
- Pain control, wound care, and early limb movement.
- Regular X-rays ensure bones are healing correctly.
Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy starts early to restore strength and flexibility.
- Return to normal activity is gradual and supervised.
Why Patients Trust Dr. Siddharth Jain
- Fellowship-trained trauma and arthroscopy specialist
- Advanced fixation systems for faster healing
- In-house physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Transparent diagnosis, surgery, and recovery planning
- 24×7 emergency support for trauma patients
When Should You See a Trauma Specialist Immediately?
Seek emergency care if you have:
- Visible deformity or inability to move a limb
- Intense pain, swelling, or bruising after an injury
- An open wound with bone showing
- Joint dislocation or limb that “looks out of place”
- Loss of sensation, pale or cold extremities after trauma
Quick assessment prevents long-term complications.
Frequently Asked Questions about Trauma Surgery in Nagpur
Do all fractures need surgery?
Not always. Minor fractures may heal with rest or with a cast. Surgery is needed when bones are displaced, joints are involved, or multiple fragments exist.
How long does it take to recover?
Most fractures heal in 6–12 weeks, but full strength and flexibility may take longer depending on age, injury type, and rehabilitation.
Is trauma surgery painful?
You won’t feel pain during surgery. Mild soreness after treatment is managed with medication and early physiotherapy.
Can elderly patients undergo trauma surgery safely?
Yes. With proper evaluation and medical optimisation, even elderly patients recover well after fracture fixation or joint surgery.
How much does trauma surgery cost in Nagpur?
Costs depend on injury type, implants, and hospital stay. Dr. Jain’s team provides a clear estimate and flexible options before surgery.
