+91 7337 0033 22What is an Orthopedic Emergency?
An orthopedic emergency is when an injury occurs either in your bone or in your soft tissue that requires immediate addressing and treatment to avoid further trauma or harm to your body. Orthopedic emergencies can result from a sudden acute injury or trauma or complications from an existing condition or surgery.
Examples of Orthopedic Emergencies:
Orthopedic emergencies from injury may include any of the following:
- Fractures requiring closing or alignment, surgery, splinting, or casting.
- Concussions (temporary unconsciousness or confusion caused by a blow on the head)
- Tendon ruptures
- Dislocations
Orthopedic emergencies resulting from an existing condition or emergencies following surgery might include any of the following:
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Swelling that blocks blood flow
- Re-injury of the damaged bone or tissue
When to Visit an Emergency Center?
It is important to note that severe acute trauma usually requires an immediate call to an ambulance or a visit to the emergency center. For example, you need to get to an emergency center or a hospital right away if you:
- If you experience a sudden loss of consciousness.
- If you have a compound fracture that causes a tear in the skin.
- If you have a closed fracture and cannot use your affected limb (for example, a broken arm or leg)
- If you are bleeding heavily from a deep cut.
- If you have met with an automobile accident.
- If you have a high fever combined with any musculoskeletal injury.
