FAQs
Common questions about trauma care at Iowa Ortho.
Orthopedic trauma refers to serious injuries to the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, and soft tissues. These injuries are typically the result of accidents such as falls, car crashes, or sports injuries, and often require urgent or surgical care.
While general orthopedics covers a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, orthopedic trauma focuses specifically on acute, often severe injuries that require immediate attention and specialized surgical expertise.
