An orthopedic traumatologist specializes in conditions of the musculoskeletal system, which is the set of structures that provide mobility, support, and stability to the body.
Within this system we find:
- Skeletal System: formed by the bones, which provide support, protection for vital organs, and storage of minerals.
- Muscular System: composed of skeletal muscles, tendons, and other connective tissues that generate movement and strength.
- Joints: the points where bones meet, allowing mobility and flexibility.
- Connective Tissues: such as ligaments and cartilage, which provide stability, absorb impacts, and protect joint surfaces.
This specialty focuses not only on treating injuries such as sprains and fractures, but also on degenerative diseases, ensuring their proper diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
Dr. Erika Barajas – Traumatologist and Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Erika Barajas specializes in hip and knee joint surgery, which often suffer natural wear and tear due to aging. However, accidents or diseases such as osteoarthritis or arthritis can also damage cartilage and joints, causing severe pain and limited mobility—common reasons for consultation in older adults.
Today, technological advances allow for surgical procedures to be more precise, minimally invasive, and safer, promoting a faster recovery in patients from surgical procedures.
If you are suffering from persistent joint pain, schedule a consultation with Dr. Erika Barajas. She will provide a comprehensive evaluation and the most appropriate treatment—whether surgical or conservative—for your case.
