Orthopedic traumatology is one of the more recent sub-specialties to emerge in the continuing evolution of orthopedics.

Orthopedic trauma professionals specialize in the management of complex musculoskeletal injuries arising from high energy mechanisms. Our specialists also focus on conditions that may complicate one's recovery from a serious injury, such as infection, failed fracture healing and joint injury.

Kadrmas, M.D., has completed advanced subspecialty training in orthopedic trauma care.
