What we treat here
Common procedures in this region
Most operative trauma at OSI is ORIF — open reduction and internal fixation. The surgeon restores the bone's anatomic position (reduction) through a surgical exposure (open), then holds that position with plates, screws, rods, or wires (internal fixation) while the fracture heals. The implants and approach are chosen for each bone and each fracture pattern; the underlying principle is the same across the body: put the pieces back in the right place and hold them there.

When to call us vs. go to the ER
If you have severe pain, an obvious deformity, loss of sensation, or any concern for a fracture or dislocation, go to the nearest emergency room. For non-emergent evaluation of a healing fracture, lingering trauma pain, or a concern something isn't healing right, call (830) 625-0009.
