Cheshire Medical Center’s orthopaedics trauma team focuses on caring for you when you have broken a bone, dislocated a joint, or are suffering other joint pain due to an injury. We most often see you in Cheshire’s Emergency Department or follow up on a visit to our Walk-In Care Clinic. We also specialize in treating post-traumatic deformity and bones that have not healed correctly.
Latest treatments and procedures
Some of the treatments we provide include:
- Bone grafting: a surgical procedure to repair damaged bones using transplanted bone
- Casting: protecting your broken bone or other injury using a cast made of fiberglass or plaster
- Splinting: immobilizing a limb that may be broken or severely sprained to prevent further injury
- Surgery: depending on the severity of the fracture, surgeon chooses the appropriate treatment method
