Traumatology focuses on the immediate effects of an injury or trauma, while orthopedics looks at the long-term effects and consequences of an injury or trauma. The two fields do overlap some, but they are distinct in terms of their focus and approach. Traumatology is more geared towards emergency care and treating acute injuries, while orthopedics is more focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating chronic conditions.

Medical Facts

Orthopedists/traumatologists are doctors specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of pathologies such as:

  • Trauma/fracture
  • Dislocations
  • Pelvic dysplasia (C/F) etc
Orthopedics/traumatology is more than just surgery

When we talk about orthopedics or traumatology, we immediately think of surgery. We must bear in mind that doctors specializing in orthopedics/traumatology also deal with diagnosis and conservative treatment of patients. Surgery is performed only when conservative treatment has failed.

The areas most treated by orthopedists/traumatologists are the knee and shoulder

However, orthopedics and traumatology is related to pathologies that can affect almost any part of the body, muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc

Orthopedics has started with pediatric age treatments

Nowadays, modern orthopedics/traumatology treats different ages (pediatric, adult, elderly). At the beginning of its development, it was focused on the treatment of children.
