Trauma
Service:
The hospital of the University of Nebraska Medical Center
offers a level 1 Trauma Center. The specialty team evaluates
and treats fractures and dislocations, both common and complex.
Poly-traumatized patients and those with long-bone and pelvic
trauma benefit from a full array of emergency services, diagnostic
imaging, and consultation with a variety of subspecialty medical
and surgical services. Trauma Team physicians use techniques
of internal, intramedullary and external fixation, as well
as microvascular techniques for the repair of fractured and
damaged joints and soft-tissues. An outpatient clinic is also
available for long-term follow-up.  |

Pediatric
Orthopaedics: 
Specially trained pediatric orthopaedic surgeons are dedicated
to the care of all musculoskeletal problems in infants,
children, and adolescents. These physicians treat limb and
spine deformities (clubfeet, scoliosis, hip dislocations,
for example); gait abnormalities; bone and joint infections;
and fractures and dislocations of the arms, legs, and spine.
A full range of supportive care such as physical therapy
and medical specialty care ensures the highest level of
treatment for complex problems. Children with spina bifida,
cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and other congenital
and developmental problems receive coordinated care in pediatric
orthopaedics.
