Post-trauma reconstruction restores form and function after injuries from road traffic accidents, work-related trauma, crush injuries, dog bites and penetrating wounds. It may involve skin grafts, local or free flaps, bone and joint reconstruction, nerve and tendon repair and scar revision, often delivered in stages over months or years. Rehabilitation with physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological support is an integral part of recovery.
