Fracture Clinic
Trillium Health
Centre - Mississauga
Trillium's new Fracture Clinic, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, opened in February 2008 and has already improved access and the quality of care our patients receive.
"The new clinic helps to decrease wait times, provides child-friendly spaces and improves patients' access to specialized procedures such as testing for osteoporosis," says Dr. Vir Sennik, orthopaedic surgeon and founder/ champion of the Diwali fundraising gala.
Donor
and community generosity made clinic possible
The Fracture Clinic was made possible thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our South Asian community and many Capital Campaign donors. In 2007, $555,000 was raised for the much-needed clinic at the annual Diwali gala.
More than 22,000 patients visit Trillium's Fracture Clinic each year. Services provided include:
- Acute and follow-up fracture care
- Advanced casting techniques and care by Certified Orthopaedic Technologists
- Post-operative follow-up care for elective and non-elective patients
- Consultations with an Orthopaedic Surgeon
- Custom Functional Knee Bracing including assessment, fitting and follow-up care as well as off-the-shelf bracing for knees
- Customized upper extremity fracture bracing
- Spinal Bracing including assessment, fitting and follow-up care
- Splinting of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions
- Viscosupplementation program for osteoarthritis of the knee.
Based on your individual needs at the time of your clinic visit, you may need additional X-Rays or procedures as determined by your orthopaedic surgeon.
Patients are seen in order of their appointment times, not arrival times, for both a consultation or cast work. Please follow the tips below to make your appointments easy as possible:
- Bring your health card.
