Emergency Orthopaedics
Prompt, expert care for acute orthopaedic injuries by Dr. M. Hari Sivanandan — ensuring the right treatment, quickly, when it matters most.
What is emergency orthopaedics?
Emergency orthopaedics is the urgent assessment and treatment of acute injuries to the bones, joints and soft tissues — such as fractures, dislocations and severe sprains — where prompt care protects function and supports recovery.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent orthopaedic care if you have:
- A suspected broken bone or a visibly deformed limb
- A joint that looks out of place (dislocation)
- Inability to move or bear weight after an injury
- Severe pain, swelling or numbness following trauma
- Any high-impact injury from a fall, accident or sport
