Advanced Fracture & Orthopedic Trauma Care

When fractures or traumatic injuries occur, immediate and specialized care is essential. At OIP, our orthopedic trauma team provides expert treatment for everything from simple fractures to complex injuries affecting multiple areas of the musculoskeletal system. Our integrated network ensures seamless care, including surgery, rehabilitation, and follow-up treatment to support full recovery.

Comprehensive Orthopedic Trauma Care

Orthopedic trauma focuses on acute injuries to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments caused by accidents, falls, or other severe trauma. Our specialists prioritize restoring function, reducing complications, and accelerating healing. OIP’s trauma serves at Holy Spirit Hospital Penn State Health’s Level II Trauma Center, ensuring expert care for patients with complex injuries.

Fracture Treatment & Recovery

Bone fractures can result from accidents, sports injuries, osteoporosis, or pediatric conditions. While many fractures heal with non-surgical care, some require surgical intervention to ensure proper recovery. Our specialists utilize minimally invasive techniques, bone grafting, and advanced reconstruction methods to optimize healing.
