Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgeon in Hermitage, TN
Surgical & Non-Surgical Bone Fracture Treatment
At Pinnacle Surgical Orthopedics, we understand the impact that fractures can have on your daily life. That's why we are committed to providing comprehensive fracture care using a minimally invasive approach. Our goal is to help you recover quickly and effectively while minimizing discomfort and promoting optimal healing.
Dr. Baxter provides a range of fracture treatments, including:
- Closed Reduction: This non-surgical technique involves carefully manipulating the broken bones back into their proper alignment, without making any incisions. It is often used for simple fractures or those that can be easily realigned.
- Internal Fixation: In more complex fractures, internal fixation may be necessary. This involves the use of metal plates, screws, or rods to stabilize the fractured bones and promote proper healing. Our surgeons utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, resulting in smaller incisions and faster recovery times.
- External Fixation: In certain cases, an external fixation device may be used to stabilize the fracture. This involves placing pins or screws into the bone, which are then connected to an external frame. This method allows for precise alignment and promotes healing.
By utilizing minimally invasive approaches, we strive to minimize scarring, reduce the risk of complications, and expedite the healing process. Trust Pinnacle Surgical Orthopedics for exceptional fracture care that prioritizes your well-being and recovery.
