Trauma surgery (fractures, dislocations)

Trauma surgery covers the management of injuries to the musculoskeletal system: limb fractures, joint dislocations, severe sprains, tendon injuries and wounds. These emergencies require rapid diagnosis, appropriate immobilization and, when necessary, surgery without delay. Management begins upon arrival at the emergency department: clinical assessment, immediate imaging (X-rays, CT scan if needed), pain relief and treatment decision. Many injuries can be managed non-operatively (cast, splint, reduction), while others require surgical fixation to allow healing under good conditions and optimal functional recovery. After the initial treatment, follow-up includes regular radiological checks, adjustment of the immobilization and a rehabilitation program designed to restore mobility, strength and independence. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, trauma emergencies are managed at any hour, with direct access to the imaging facilities, operating theaters available at all times and an orthopedic team ensuring continuity of care from the emergency to rehabilitation.
