Orthopaedic and Traumatology Surgery

Presentation

The Orthopaedic and Traumatology Service of Germans Trias attends and treats traumatic, degenerative, tumoural, infectious pathology and congenital and acquired deformities of the locomotive apparatus.

 

It is organized in units and sub-units, which attend to a specific area of pathology knowledge. This enables professionals to specialize in rare diseases and highly complex and innovative surgery techniques.

 

At the same time, the service develops the multidisciplinary care of patients with other professionals of the hospital. An example of this is the creation of units such as the Locomotive Apparatus Septic Pathology Unit, the Orthogeriatrics Unit and the Arthroplasty Unit, which take on an integral approach of the patient.

 

The quality of care is the primary concern of the service. It therefore maximizes the development of protocols and clinical records of different procedures and treatment, together with control and assessment systems.
