Orthopedic Trauma

  • 863.284.6784

Not all health needs are planned. Sometimes we may experience an event like a fall or accident that requires more emergent care.

Orthopedic trauma care ranges from simple fractures to severe life-threatening accidents with multiple fractures. We have a dedicated Orthopedic Trauma Service at Lakeland Regional Health with fellowship-trained Orthopedic Traumatologists.
