Abstract: The ever increasing incidence of trauma and its associated multiple complex injuries has paved the way for an ortho-plastic approach to the management of such patients within the recently introduced “Major Trauma Centres†(MTCs). Unfortunately, many MTCs lack the presence of an on-site plastic surgical team, which may delay treatment in those requiring input for soft tissue coverage. The presence of plastic surgeons within a MTC or regional trauma units does not only improve the level of care provided in acute injuries but enables the establishment of multiple elective services for those with chronic bone and joint conditions.
