Caring for traumatic injuries
People of all ages can be affected by a traumatic injury. Traumatic injuries are often complex to treat because they usually involve multiple parts of the body. For more than 30 years, the OrthoIndy Trauma team has provided the highest level of orthopedic trauma care to patients in central Indiana. Our team is comprised of seven board certified, fellowship-trained, private practice, orthopedic traumatologists.
OrthoIndy trauma physicians are fellowship-trained in orthopedic traumatology and provide coverage exclusively at St.Vincent Trauma Center.
