The orthopaedic trauma service at UCI Health serves Orange County’s 3+ million residents as the only Level I trauma center in the region. Our three orthopaedic trauma surgeons: Dr. John Scolaro, Dr. James Learned, and Dr. Philip Lim each have specialized training in the treatment of both new and old fractures. Our Physician Assistant (PA), Mr. Taras Pylypiv, rounds out our team.
We are the only hospital in Orange County to have a team of surgeons with advanced training to evaluate and treat complex musculoskeletal injuries such as fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum (hip socket), fractures involving native joints, joints that have been replaced, as well as fractures that do not heal or have healed incorrectly resulting in deformity and disability.
