Trauma

Orthopedic trauma is a severe injury to part or multiple parts of the musculoskeletal system, often as the result from a sudden accident which requires immediate medical attention. Trauma injuries can range from low energy fractures (often in elderly patients) to multiple injuries such as those caused by a road traffic accident. Bone and joint infections can also require emergency treatment.

Inland Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Physicians provide 24/7 on-call services to our region. If you experience a trauma or emergency injury, head to the Pullman Regional Hospital Emergency Department. At the Emergency Department, they will phone the orthopaedic surgeon on call. We know that recovery isn’t complete after emergency surgery or treatment, therefore we provide follow-up care, respond to complications, and work to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients.

Emergency injuries include:

• Spine, head, or neck injuries
• Cuts and wounds
• Fractures
• Burns
• Animal bites
• Tendon ruptures
• Dislocations
