Specialty pillarComplex trauma & fracture care
Beyond straightforward breaks, some fractures demand reconstruction-level skill: fractures that enter joints, shatter into fragments, occur around existing implants, or happen in growing children.
Complex and periarticular fractures
Fractures around the hip, knee, shoulder and elbow joints must be rebuilt anatomically — imperfect reduction of a joint surface leads directly to arthritis. Dr. Srivastava's parallel practice in joint replacement means these injuries are fixed by a surgeon who also handles their long-term consequences.
Fractures around implants (periprosthetic fractures)
As more people live long lives with joint replacements, fractures around those implants are increasingly common. Their management sits at the intersection of trauma and revision arthroplasty — precisely the combination this practice maintains.
Pelvis and acetabular fractures
The most complex injuries in orthopaedic trauma have a dedicated page here.
Paediatric fractures
Children's bones heal differently and grow — which is both an advantage and a hazard. Fractures involving growth plates need careful judgement about which need surgery and which must simply be protected. Treatment always respects the growing skeleton.
My relative has multiple fractures after a road accident. What is the right sequence of treatment?
Life- and limb-threatening problems are stabilised first; definitive fixation of individual fractures follows in a planned order. Send the injury details and scans for guidance on sequencing and timing.
Do all fractures need surgery?
No. Many fractures heal excellently in casts or braces. Surgery is for fractures that are displaced, unstable, involve joints, or would leave poor function if left to heal as they lie.
A fracture treated earlier has healed crookedly. Can it be corrected?
Malunions can often be corrected with planned osteotomy and fixation. Correction is easier and better the earlier it is planned — bring the original and current X-rays for review.
