abstract="Rehabilitation Traumatology has developed within Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as a specialized area of knowledge in which the physiatrist works with the Traumatology team to enhance the functional outcome of trauma patients. The American Heritage Dictionary defines Traumatology as &quot;the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of serious wounds, injuries, and disabilities&quot; [1]. It defines rehabilitate as &quot;to restore to good health or useful life, as through therapy and education&quot; [1]. Thus the authors propose Rehabilitation Traumatology be &quot;the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of serious wounds, injuries, and disabilities&quot;, &quot;to restore (the patient) to good health or useful life&quot;. This article reviews the history of Traumatology, special considerations of the traumatology patient through the continuum of care, and concepts toward the creation of a rehabilitation traumatology program.<br><br>Copyright © 2017 American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
