Orthopedic trauma is a subspecialty of orthopedics that covers acute bone, joint, and soft tissue injuries that follow a traumatic incident. Traumatic incidents can range from simple falls at home to more serious events such as car accidents.

After an accurate diagnosis, many fractures can be treated with casting or splinting. However, some fractures require complex surgery or targeted rehabilitation and can even be life-threatening.

Why Choose Orthopaedic Associates of Manhasset for Orthopedic Trauma and Fracture Care?

After experiencing a fracture, you will often be admitted to an urgent care or emergency room. You can then request a specific surgeon, elect to be transferred, or be discharged to follow up with a specialist of your choice.

Due to the dynamic nature of a fracture, traumatic injuries require prompt evaluation and treatment. It is important to receive appropriate care from the onset to achieve the best outcomes, as fractures become more difficult to fix later.

Dr. Jeffrey Richmond, fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma specialist at Orthopaedic Associates of Manhasset, further explains why you should pick your own trauma surgeon.

Orthopaedic Associates of Manhasset’s Dr. Hamid Mostafavi and Dr. Jeffrey Richmond, together with over 50 years of experience in managing both simple and complex injuries, are the only private-practice fellowship-trained orthopedic trauma specialists on Long Island, providing care at North Shore University Hospital, St. Francis Hospital and Huntington Hospital, in addition to office-based care in Great Neck and at our new office in Huntington.

Our surgeons also work closely with our licensed physical therapists, who are committed to providing integrated, state-of-the-art physical and occupational therapy care and rehabilitation. They take a team approach to develop a treatment plan specialized to your individual needs.
