German term or phrase: konservative Behandlung Traumatologie

Hi all,

I am translating an 'OP Katalog' of a Swiss doctor.
His specialisation is 'Orthopädie & Traumatologie'.

The treatments that he has performed are broken down into the following four categories:

- Eingriffe Orthopädie
- konservative Behandlungen Orthopädie
- Operationen Traumatologie
- konservative Behandlungen Traumatologie

i.e.
- surgical interventions – orthopaedics
- non-surgical interventions – orthopaedics
- surgical interventions – trauma surgery
- ????

'Non-surgical interventions – trauma surgery' sounds like a contradiction. How can I put that?

Thank you.

Peter

The book also does not discuss the non-operative management of trauma or pre- and postoperative care.

Hi Peter:
As an English equivalent of Traumatologie, I suggest trauma care.
"Non-operative trauma care" gets its share of googles.

or "conservative management", "non-operative management"...

just FYI, although it sounds funny, "conservative therapy" *is* the official term.
