Hello, thank you for your question, I’m sorry to hear about your son’s crash. A trauma surgeon’s role is to help victims of serious injury survive immediately life-threatening injuries during the hospital stay. However, good trauma care involves a multidisciplinary team, several members of which may be helpful in your son’s recovery. The first step is to make sure brain, spine, and extremity injuries that could be causing his walking difficulties have been ruled out. Hopefully, that is what his doctors have done already if they are telling you he just needs time. A combination of a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor and a psychologist who specializes in trauma care would be very valuable to your son’s recovery. Any level 1 and most level 2 trauma centers would have those resources available. Hope this information is helpful to you.
