What Is Major Trauma?
Major trauma refers to serious, life-threatening injuries often caused by accidents, falls, sports incidents, industrial mishaps, or violence. It usually involves multiple body systems—bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and internal organs—and requires immediate, specialized, and coordinated medical care.
