What Is Fracture & Trauma Care?
Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center offers fracture and trauma care as an evaluation and treatment planning service for broken bones and related injuries. This service is built for active adults and athletes of all ages who need a clear next step after an injury.
A fracture and trauma visit is a scheduled appointment, not a walk-in emergency service. Our providers look at the injury, review any imaging that has been done, and talk through a treatment plan that fits the person and the injury.
- Recent breaks or suspected fractures
- Injuries from a fall, collision, or accident
- Follow-up planning after an initial diagnosis
Specific questions about your injury, timeline, or symptoms are best answered by a provider during a visit, not by a website.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Visits for fracture and trauma care follow a straightforward pattern. When you arrive, our team will ask about how the injury happened and what you have noticed since. This helps the provider understand the full picture before the exam begins.
The provider will examine the area, review any existing imaging, and may order additional imaging if it helps with planning. From there, the provider explains what they see in plain language and lays out options for next steps.
- Check-in and injury history
- Physical evaluation of the injury
- Review of imaging, existing or newly ordered
- A plain-language explanation of findings
- A treatment plan discussion tailored to you
Families traveling from Richland, MS should plan for enough time to cover all of this without feeling rushed. Bring any prior imaging, paperwork, or notes from another provider if you have them, since it can help the visit move smoothly.
