Traumatology
Modern traumatology is a branch of medicine that deals not only with injuries, dislocations and their after-effects but also includes a comprehensive array of medical services ranging from initial care and evaluation to complex operations on joints, ligaments and tendons.
At GMS Clinic we have both the state-of-the-art equipment and experienced doctors to help our patients regain control of their lives by restoring movement and functions.
GMS Clinic specialists use X-Ray diagnostics and MRI scanning to evaluate the problem and establish the diagnosis. Our doctors also resort to arthroscopy, especially dealing with knee joint traumas with inflammation and traumatic hemarthrosis. We are glad that Professor Simevsky, M.D., Ph.D, a well-known trauma surgery specialist in Moscow, performs his complicated arthroscopic operations at our medical center.
In case fusion bone operation is needed, GMS Clinic specialists can do the necessary pre-surgical evaluation and then handle the surgical part in on of our specialized fellow-clinics.
From the professional athlete who tears a knee ligament during a game to the weekend recreationalist who wakes up with a sore shoulder, GMS Clinic specialists provide the highest quality care for athletic injuries.
For instance, such popular kind of sport as tennis may cause a specific micro-trauma called tennis elbow. The pain may last for 6 to 12 weeks and the discomfort may continue for as little as 3 weeks or as long as several years. GMS Clinic specialists apply shock wave therapy, the newest type of after-trauma treatment that reduces pain and promotes the healing process. Shock wave therapy is especially effective while treating elbow, shoulder, ankle or hip joint traumas and osteoarthrosis.
GMS Clinic delivers around-the-clock trauma care that includes:
- Emergency diagnostics of all types of traumas, including X-Ray diagnostics and MRI Scanning
- Emergency medical care: plaster splint application (usual and polymeric cast), wound debridement
- Non-operative treatment of osteoarthrosis
- Arthroscopy, diagnostic and therapeutic
- Bone Fusion Operations (performed at our fellow clinics)
