​Trauma injuries are sudden, often unexpected events that can have a significant impact on a person’s life. They can occur due to falls, accidents, sports injuries, or other high-impact incidents. These injuries can range from simple fractures to more complex breaks involving joints, bones around implants, or multiple areas of the body.
Managing trauma requires careful assessment, accurate diagnosis, and timely treatment to prevent long-term problems, such as reduced mobility, chronic pain, or complications like arthritis. Mr. Manoj Veettil has extensive experience in trauma care, with particular expertise in complex lower limb fractures, which are often the most challenging injuries to treat due to the intricate anatomy of the legs and the need to restore both function and strength.
​Patients with trauma injuries often require a combination of surgical intervention, rehabilitation, and careful follow-up to ensure optimal recovery. Mr Veettil works closely with multidisciplinary NHS teams, including physiotherapists, anaesthetists, and specialist nurses, to provide a coordinated approach to care. This collaboration ensures that each patient receives the right treatment at the right time, improving recovery outcomes and helping patients regain independence as quickly as possible.
Trauma
General Trauma Management
Mr Veettil is skilled in managing general trauma cases, including fractures, dislocations, and injuries resulting from accidents. He works closely with NHS trauma teams to ensure patients receive timely and safe treatment.
Complex Lower Limb Fractures
Some injuries are more complicated and require specialist care. Mr Veettil has experience treating:
-
Peri-prosthetic fractures – fractures that occur around joint replacements, which can be challenging due to the presence of implants.
-
Intra-articular fractures – fractures that involve the joint surfaces, where precise reconstruction is essential to restore normal movement.
-
Peri-articular fractures – fractures around a joint, which can affect stability and function if not carefully managed.
These types of injuries often require surgery and advanced planning. Mr Veettil works alongside expert NHS teams to ensure that each patient receives the best possible care, tailored to their specific injury.
NHS Management Only
It is important to note that all trauma cases are managed exclusively in NHS hospitals. While Mr Veettil treats other orthopaedic conditions privately, complex trauma requires the resources and multidisciplinary support available within NHS facilities.
Patient Support & Guidance
For patients who experience trauma, the first step is to seek urgent medical attention via A&E or your local NHS hospital. Once the initial emergency care has been provided, Mr Veettil can be involved as part of the NHS team to guide ongoing treatment and recovery.
His goal is always to restore movement, reduce pain, and help patients regain independence as fully as possible. By combining experience, careful planning, and collaboration with other specialists, Mr Veettil provides comprehensive care for complex trauma injuries.
