Patient Story: Complex Forearm Fracture Surgery in Dawsonville GA

Introduction

Severe orthopedic injuries can change a person’s life in seconds. At the Dawsonville location of Specialty Orthopaedics, one patient experienced a devastating accident in July that left both the radius and ulna completely severed. This type of open injury is one of the most urgent fracture treatment Dawsonville cases because of the high risk of infections and long-term disability. Thanks to immediate evaluation, advanced orthopedic surgery, and board-certified care, this patient’s outcome became a story of hope and healing.

Patient Review

“So thankful I wound up in the care of Dr. Neustein. I had a severe injury at the beginning of July. Both of my radius and ulna were completely severed and my wound was open resulting in high risk of dangerous infection. Throughout my hospital stay, surgeries, and recovery Dr. Neustein has been such a blessing. He is deeply knowledgeable, professional, and honest. I suffer from health anxiety and panic attacks, and Dr. Neustein made the entire experience much less scary and was incredibly responsive when needed. I hope you never wind up with an injury like mine, but if you do, you can trust that Dr. Neustein will take incredible care of you!”

What Is a Radius/Ulna Fracture?

The forearm bones — the radius and ulna — are essential for wrist, elbow, and hand function. When both bones break, especially in an open injury where bone pierces the skin, urgent orthopedic treatment is required. These injuries can involve surrounding soft tissue injuries, nerves, and blood vessels. Without surgery, patients risk permanent loss of motion, deformity, and infection.

At the Dawsonville GA office, Dr. Neustein offers immediate evaluation of severe injuries. Walk-ins are accepted for urgent cases. The treatment plan often includes:

  • X-rays and diagnosis of the fracture pattern.
  • Thorough irrigation and removal of contaminated tissue at the wound site.
  • Surgical stabilization of the bones to restore alignment in the wrist and elbow.
  • Close follow-up at the Dawsonville location to monitor healing.
  • Step-by-step rehabilitation to help patients regain strength and function.

Definitive surgical care is performed at his Gainesville ambulatory surgery center, while post-operative visits are conveniently located in Dawsonville.
