Fractures are usually caused by trauma and often involve injury to other body systems, such as respiratory, abdominal and cardiovascular. The orthopedic service offers around the clock care for the traumatized patient including a state of the art critical care facility, consultation with other medicine and surgery specialists and definitive repair of the "broken bone" with state of the art equipment.
