Hey there, we are the Orthopedic Trauma Surgeons. First, we want to say we’re here to help you get better. When you've been through a trauma and surgery, it's essential to remember that you have a big part to play in your own recovery. Let's chat about how you can be an active player in your healing journey.
As an orthopedic trauma surgeon, my dedication to my patients extends beyond physical healing to encompass their mental well-being. The importance of mental health during recovery from a traumatic injury cannot be overstated. Studies have shown that individuals battling depression or anxiety tend to have worse outcomes post-surgery, highlighting the crucial role that emotional well-being plays in the healing process.
As an orthopedic trauma surgeon, my primary goal is to ensure the well-being and successful recovery of my patients. One crucial aspect of post-operative care that demands attention is pain management. Traditional approaches often relied heavily on opioids for pain relief, but the detrimental effects of high doses of sustained narcotics are increasingly recognized. This realization has led to the adoption of multimodal pain control, a comprehensive strategy that emphasizes the use of multiple non-narcotic medications to enhance safety and efficacy while minimizing the risk of adverse effects.
