Issues may be the result of congenital disorders, infections, degenerative diseases, or serious injuries. The ultimate goal is to return patients to full or near-full function as quickly as possible. Surgical treatments are usually performed after non-surgical or minimally-invasive treatments have been ruled out or failed.
Trauma surgeons are specifically trained to provide surgical treatment for critically ill or injured patients, with many surgeries potentially being life-saving for the patient. Dr. Althausen provides time-sensitive surgical care in an effort to repair extensive damage to various parts of the body.
