Through the Keyhole of Traumatology: The Most Common Procedures and Treatment Methods for Injuries

Share

You have probably considered a private clinic in Trnava if you did not want to remain in a hospital environment longer than necessary. In fact, there are injuries and surgical procedures that do not require hospitalization for more than 24 hours. The advantage? Patients return home for recovery without the risk of exposure to hospital-acquired infections.

What Does a Traumatologist Treat?

Traumatology is a branch of medicine that helps patients recover from injuries to bones or muscles caused by sports activities or everyday life situations, such as falls, traffic accidents, or violent incidents. Have you broken a bone, sprained a joint, or developed muscle inflammation? A traumatologist is a specialist in bones, muscles, and joints. When necessary, they perform not only treatment of the skin and musculoskeletal system, but also more extensive surgical procedures. Traumatology is closely related to orthopedics; however, the difference is that traumatology focuses on injuries of the musculoskeletal system rather than deformities. For this reason, traumatology is also referred to as injury medicine or accident surgery. At the private clinic in Trnava, you will find experienced traumatologists. The most common traumatology procedures performed include meniscus surgery, knee, ankle, and shoulder arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, kneecap surgery, and removal of metal surgical implants from healed fractures. Athletes in particular often have extensive experience with such procedures. It is always reassuring when recovery after surgery can take place in the comfort of home instead of being confined to a hospital bed surrounded by unfamiliar people. Thanks to the specialized services of the private clinic in Trnava, even knee surgery can often be performed as a day surgery procedure, with recovery continuing at home.

Methods of Injury Treatment

Many athletes are familiar with meniscus surgery. A swollen knee can limit movement or even lock the joint completely. The most common treatment method is meniscus repair through suturing, although in more severe cases the traumatologist may decide to remove part or all of the meniscus. Patients may also suffer from joint problems — whether caused by loose bodies inside the joint or damaged tissue of the joint capsule, these issues can often be treated using minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures. In cases of complicated bone fractures, the traumatology department in Trnava performs the removal of metal surgical implants that were inserted to stabilize fractures. This procedure is carried out under general or local anesthesia. Treatment also involves the use of modern diagnostic equipment such as X-ray and ultrasound examinations. The clinic’s modern environment, specialists with more than 30 years of experience, and advanced medical technology guarantee that your treatment will meet your expectations.
