Fellowship Description: Primary Goal The primary goal of the orthopaedic trauma fellowship program is to promote the advancement of the surgeon’s knowledge base for the treatment of the polytraumatized patient with complex musculoskeletal injuries. Under the guidance of eight senior trauma surgeons, the program is intended to increase both their understanding of injury impact on overall patient outcomes and their comprehension of potential treatment strategies for severely injured patients. In addition, ensuring a complete understanding of proper timing and implementation of these strategies in a critical care setting is a key component of any successful musculoskeletal treatment plan. Finally, this fellowship program focuses on complementing the didactic education of each fellow with tasks designed to increase their discernment of the principles of acute fracture management, including surgical and non-surgical options, and how these may apply to the patient. Additional goals and objectives of the OrthoIndy Trauma Fellowship: 1. To refine surgical skills with management of various fracture patterns 2. To discern the diagnosis and treatment plan in cases requiring surgical intervention with pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative planning 3. Communicate with other services including general surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery, to determine the care needed to treat their musculoskeletal injuries and facilitate the best outcome 4. To initiate and carry out the treatment plan in a competent manner 5. Perform a thorough musculoskeletal exam of the polytraumatized patient 6. Determine and order appropriate studies required of injured patients * All tasks are supervised by a senior orthopaedic trauma staff surgeon.
