What We Offer

Limb reconstruction addresses complex deformities, bone loss, and functional deficits resulting from trauma, infection, congenital conditions, or failed previous surgeries. Dr. Laric attends to selected cases. Limb reconstruction often requires months to years of treatment in close collaboration with plastic surgeons, vascular specialists, and rehabilitation teams. The ultimate goal is to create a functional, stable limb that allows patients to return to their desired activities while avoiding amputation whenever possible.

Pelvic fractures are among the most complex and challenging injuries in orthopaedic surgery, often resulting from high-energy trauma such as motor vehicle accidents or falls from height. Dr. Laric specialises in the surgical management of these severe injuries, which may involve multiple fracture patterns and associated soft tissue damage.

Severe limb trauma encompasses devastating injuries that threaten limb viability and function, including open fractures with extensive soft tissue damage, crush injuries, and multi-level trauma. Dr. Laric provides comprehensive care for these complex cases, working as part of a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Fracture fixation involves the surgical stabilization of broken bones using various implants and techniques to promote proper healing and restore function. Dr. Laric employs a comprehensive range of fixation methods including internal fixation with plates, screws, rods, and pins, as well as external fixation when appropriate.
