Trauma Surgery & Fracture Care

Trauma Surgery involves the fixing of bone fractures in an acute (emergency) situation. Typically, these surgeries involve stabilizing the bones with specialized orthopedic plates, screws or nails, but it can also involve the repair of torn tendons and ligaments. The after care for fractures often involves the application of specialized splints or casts which may need to be changed at set intervals.

Wait Times

Please Note: Wait times for a surgical opinion are between 7-8 months after receiving a consult from your family doctor or another orthopedic surgeon.

Please Note: Surgical wait times are currently at 12-16 months from the time of booking once seen by Dr. Rodriguez-Elizalde

We apologize for the delay, but recent news of the Direct Anterior Total Hip Replacement has caused a surge of referrals and surgical bookings. If you currently have surgery booked with another orthopedic surgeon within the next year, please do not cancel it.

We will likely not be able to process your request sooner. We look forward to being able to refer you to more orthopedic surgeons who perform this technique soon.
