Division of Orthopaedic Trauma
Orthopedic Trauma Care, Research & Education
The Division of Orthopaedic Trauma at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) provides extraordinary care for all types of musculoskeletal trauma and injuries. We also offer a range of education and research opportunities to help improve the quality of orthopedic patient care.
For most orthopedic trauma patients, patient care begins in the Emergency Department immediately post-injury. The first goal is to accurately diagnose and stabilize the patient’s injuries. Once this has been done, the patient may be admitted to the hospital.
BIDMC is a Level 1 Trauma Center and has state-of-the-art trauma operating facilities. Our orthopedic trauma experts include a dedicated traumatologist and are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide complete trauma care.
