Trauma & Fracture Care in Chennai
Emergency Orthopaedic Treatment for Fractures, Accidents & Injuries
Injuries caused by falls, road accidents, sports trauma, and workplace incidents require fast, accurate orthopaedic care. A fracture may look minor from the outside, but incorrect treatment or delayed fixation can lead to long-term pain, stiffness, deformity, and reduced mobility.
Dr. Nikhil Jawaharlal Nahar provides expert Trauma & Fracture Care with a strong focus on early diagnosis, stable fixation, safe recovery, and long-term function. With UK NHS experience and over 11+ years in Trauma and Orthopaedics, he is trained to manage both routine fractures and complex orthopaedic injuries using evidence-based protocols.
✅ Whether it’s a simple fracture or a high-impact accident injury, timely care makes all the difference.
When Do You Need a Trauma & Fracture Specialist?
You should seek immediate orthopaedic evaluation if you have:
- Severe pain after a fall or accident
- Visible swelling, deformity, or abnormal movement
- Inability to move the limb or bear weight
- Open wounds with suspected fracture
- Numbness or tingling in the injured area
- Severe bruising around joints (hip, knee, shoulder, ankle)
- Injury with suspected ligament or tendon damage
- Repeat fractures or poor healing after previous treatment
Key Services
Emergency Fracture Assessment & Diagnosis
Every trauma case begins with a detailed evaluation, including:
- Injury history and mechanism of trauma
- Clinical examination for swelling, deformity & stability
- Neurovascular assessment (blood flow and nerve function)
- Imaging guidance for fracture confirmation
This ensures the injury is treated correctly from the beginning.
Fracture Fixation Surgery
Some fractures can heal with splints or casting, while others require fixation for stable healing and functional recovery.
Fracture fixation may involve:
- Plates and screws
- Intramedullary nails
- External fixation (in selected cases)
✅ Goal: correct alignment, strong stability, and faster safe mobilisation.
Complex Trauma & High-Impact Injuries
High-energy injuries often occur due to road traffic accidents or falls from height and may involve multiple fractures or joint damage.
Dr. Nikhil provides advanced management for:
- Complex fracture patterns
- Multi-limb injuries
- Joint injuries with instability
- Soft tissue and ligament involvement
📌 These cases require experience, planning, and staged recovery approach.
Pelvis & Acetabular Fracture Care
Pelvic fractures are serious injuries that require careful evaluation and advanced imaging. These fractures may affect walking stability and joint function if not treated properly.
Care may include:
- CT scan based injury mapping
- Surgical fixation when needed
- Stable mobilisation and rehab planning
✅ Focus: restore pelvic stability and support long-term walking function.
Joint Trauma
Trauma doesn’t always cause a visible fracture—sometimes the injury is inside the joint.
Joint trauma care includes evaluation for:
- Ligament tears (ACL/PCL, shoulder instability)
- Meniscus or cartilage injuries
- Dislocations and recurrent instability
- Post-trauma stiffness and joint pain
Treatment may include rehabilitation, arthroscopy, or stabilisation procedures depending on severity.

Recently we had a shoulder and hip surgery for my dad done through Dr Nikhil. He is very polite and shares the surgery procedures and outcomes in detail. Not only during surgery, he constantly follows up post surgery as well to check the health status of the patient and provides the right guidance for faster recovery. Took the right decision to have surgery for my dad done through him. Thank you Dr Nikhil.

I recently had the occasion of consulting Dr. Nikhil, who comes across as a close relative. Although this review might seem motivated, his advice helped me with my long standing issue with respect to having a flat feet. The treatment plan that he suggested and after following it with utmost patience, I can say that he has helped me cure something chronic in the lightest form possible. His approach to my predicament is commendable and I cannot stress on how anyone dealing with ortho related issues should consult him once. Thank you, doc!
