What kinds of fractures does a trauma surgeon treat?

Orthopaedic trauma surgeons treat fractures of the upper limb (clavicle, humerus, forearm, wrist), lower limb (hip, femur, tibia, ankle), pelvis, and complex periarticular fractures involving the joints, as well as fracture non-unions and post-traumatic deformities.

Do all fractures need surgery?

No. Many stable, well-aligned fractures heal with casting, splinting or bracing alone. Surgery is recommended for displaced fractures, joint-involving fractures, open fractures, or fractures unlikely to heal in good alignment without fixation.

What is internal fixation?

Internal fixation uses plates, screws, intramedullary nails or pins to stabilise a fracture in correct alignment while it heals. It typically allows earlier mobilisation than prolonged casting.

When should I see a specialist after a fracture?

If pain or function is not improving as expected, if the original treatment was non-surgical and you have concerns about healing, or if you have a complex injury that may need surgical reconstruction or revision, a specialist orthopaedic trauma consultation is appropriate.

Services

Trauma

Modern surgical management of fractures and acute injuries, with experience in complex cases such as tibial plateau, distal humerus and elbow fractures.

Upper Limb Fixation

Service · Trauma

Proximal Humerus Fracture Surgery

Operative treatment of fractures involving the upper end of the humerus near the shoulder joint. Modern locking plate fixation provides stable reconstruction in most cases; reverse shoulder replacement may be the most appropriate option for complex four-part fractures in elderly patients with poor bone quality.

Service · Trauma

Distal Radius Fracture Fixation

Operative fixation of unstable or displaced fractures of the wrist. Modern volar locking plate fixation provides stable reconstruction with minimal soft-tissue disruption, allowing early mobilisation and reliable restoration of wrist function.

Service · Trauma

Distal Humerus Fracture Surgery

Operative treatment of fractures involving the lower end of the humerus at the elbow, including supracondylar and transcondylar patterns. Modern dual-plate fixation and anatomical articular reconstruction restore a stable and functional elbow, while supporting early rehabilitation.

Lower Limb Fixation

Service · Trauma

Hip Fracture Surgery

Urgent surgical treatment of fractures involving the proximal femur. Time-sensitive, early surgery within 24–48 hours significantly improves outcomes. The choice of operation is matched to the fracture pattern: internal fixation for extracapsular fracture patterns, hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures.

Tibial Plateau Fracture Surgery (360°)

Specialist surgery for complex fractures of the tibial plateau, including the 360° combined anterior and posterior approach for fractures involving the posterior column. A demanding surgical technique that provides complete access to all components of the fracture, refined during advanced German trauma fellowship training.

Paediatric Fracture Care

Specialist treatment of fractures in children, respecting the unique biology of growing bones. Most paediatric fractures heal beautifully without surgery; when surgery is needed, technique must respect the growth plates that drive future bone development.

Molecular & Biological Regenerative Therapy

A modern, biology-led therapy I learned and practised during my training in Germany, one of the leading European centres for autologous biological therapies. Concentrated healing cells and signalling molecules from the patient's own blood are injected directly into the affected joint, tendon or ligament, activating the body’s own repair mechanisms. Used worldwide, including in professional sport.
