Traumatology

Traumatology is the study of injuries and how to treat them. It looks at why people get injured, what kinds of injuries people get, and how to treat them. Traumatologists are doctors and other health care professionals who specialize in helping people heal from their injuries. They work with doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and other health care professionals to develop the best plan for treating each person's injuries. They also help patients understand their injuries and what is involved in their treatment.
