GENERAL TRAUMATOLOGY
General traumatology specialises in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, both traumatic and degenerative in origin. The general traumatology specialty uses advanced and cutting-edge medical treatments to ensure the patient's comprehensive recovery and quality of life.
Ligament injuries
Ligament injuries, such as sprains and tears, are another critical area within traumatology. Ligaments are bands of connective tissue that bind bones together and stabilise joints. The most common injuries affect the knees, ankles and shoulders, and usually occur due to sudden movements, twisting or direct impacts. Treatment may include rest, ice, compression and elevation (the RICE method), physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and, in severe cases, surgery to repair or reconstruct the damaged ligament. Rehabilitation afterward is essential to regain full mobility and prevent future injuries.
Bone fractures
Bone fractures are one of the most common conditions treated in the field of traumatology. They occur when a bone is broken due to a significant impact, fall, or repetitive stress. Treatment for fractures varies depending on the severity and type of fracture, and includes methods such as immobilization with a cast or splints, manual or surgical reduction to realign the bone, and in severe cases, the implantation of internal fixations such as screws, plates, or nails. In addition to the initial intervention, the recovery and rehabilitation process is crucial to restore functionality and prevent long-term complications.
Meniscus injuries
Meniscus injuries are common in trauma, especially among athletes and active people. The meniscus are crescent-shaped discs of cartilage located in the knee, which act as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia. These injuries usually occur due to sudden twisting movements or direct impact. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment can range from physical therapy and rest to surgical procedures such as arthroscopy to repair or remove damaged tissue. Rehabilitation is crucial to regaining function and preventing arthritis in the long term.

Sports traumatology specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries to the musculoskeletal system resulting from sports practice. It develops a comprehensive and specialised approach to the recovery of sports injuries to the joint, muscle and ligament tissue, in line with the disciplines of physiotherapy, osteopathy and podiatry.
TRAUMATOLOGICAL PROCEDURES
Traumatological evaluation and rigorous clinical diagnosis through imaging tests: musculoskeletal ultrasound, magnetic resonance, x-ray or telemetry. Joint evacuation puncture (arthrocentesis): for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in inflammatory joint processes. Joint and periarticular infiltration: joint components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatories or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), used in the effective treatment of inflammatory processes and of traumatic or degenerative origin. Soft, functional joint immobilizations, placement of plaster, glass or similar splint.
