Post-Traumatic Reconstruction
Post-Traumatic Reconstruction refers to the part of an orthopedic traumatologist's specialty where we help patients regain function after a traumatic injury. The problems may take the form of post-traumatic deformity, failure of fractures to heal (also known as nonunion), and post-traumatic infection.
Post-Traumatic Reconstruction
Orthopedic Traumatologists are also specialists in the treatment of traumatic injuries that have gone wrong. In other words, when an extremity or pelvis injury fails to heal, or heals in a misaligned or crooked position, this could lead to poor function for a lifetime. Our goal as Orthopedic Traumatologists is to bring a patient back to as high a level of function as possible through corrective surgery. This can be a lengthy process with challenges along they way, though every patient's needs are individualized when arriving at an optimum solution.
Dr Neiman does not accept new patients for infection from non-traumatic causes (such as diabetes or neuropathy) unless referred specifically to him through the emergency room at Sutter Roseville during his on-call days.
