Orthopedic Fracture Care
A sudden traumatic accident can cause a range of physical injuries. Orthopedic fracture care is a branch of orthopedic surgery that specializes in injuries related to the bones, joints, and soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). These traumatic injuries typically require prompt attention, can be difficult to treat, and benefit the most in the hands of an orthopedic fracture specialist.

Our surgeons also employ the most up-to-date techniques to optimize pain control and overall bone health during your treatment. At WBJ, our goal is not only to provide outstanding treatment of your injury, but also to help reduce the chances of repeat injury in the future.
Second Opinions
The orthopedic fracture surgeons at WBJ are available to provide a second opinion regarding the management of acute and chronic injuries. Often, appropriate early treatment of orthopedic injuries leads to the best chance of an optimal recovery. You can count on our fellowship-trained fracture specialists to provide you with cutting-edge strategies to manage your injury.
Additionally, WBJ offers elective trauma surgery reconstruction for nonunions, malunions, deformity, or infection, which can occur when a fracture does not heal correctly. If any of these occur after your first surgery, you are welcome to come to WBJ for a second opinion to discuss treatment options and possible reconstruction.
