Complex Intra-Articular Trauma
Complex intra-articular trauma refers to fractures that extend into the joints, affecting both the bone and the cartilage. These injuries are particularly challenging because they disrupt the joint surface, leading to impaired function, instability, pain, and an increased risk of post-traumatic arthritis. Intra-articular fractures are typically caused by high-energy impacts such as motor vehicle accidents, falls from heights, or sports injuries.
Dr. Vikramjit Singh Baath, a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon, specializes in the management of complex intra-articular fractures. His advanced surgical techniques and personalized treatment plans ensure that patients receive the highest level of care to restore joint function, minimize pain, and promote long-term joint health.
Understanding Intra-Articular Trauma
Intra-articular trauma involves fractures that occur within a joint, commonly affecting areas such as:
- Knee (tibial plateau fractures)
- Ankle (pilon fractures)
- Shoulder (proximal humerus fractures)
- Wrist (distal radius fractures)
- Elbow or hip joints
These fractures are often accompanied by joint dislocation, ligament damage, and soft tissue injury, complicating the treatment process. Prompt, precise intervention is essential to ensure proper joint alignment, restore mobility, and prevent long-term complications like chronic pain or arthritis.
Treatment Approach
Dr. Baath employs a comprehensive approach to managing complex intra-articular trauma, including:
- Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF): Surgical realignment of the joint surface and stabilization with plates, screws, or pins to ensure proper healing.
- Arthroscopic-assisted surgery: Minimally invasive techniques to repair joint damage while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Joint reconstruction: In severe cases, joint replacement or reconstruction may be necessary to restore full function.
- Post-operative care and rehabilitation: Customized physical therapy plans to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
