Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. It deals with conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and other related structures.
You should consider seeing an orthopaedic specialist if you are experiencing persistent joint or musculoskeletal pain, have difficulty moving a limb, have sustained a sports or exercise-related injury, or if you have been diagnosed with a condition that affects the musculoskeletal system.
Orthopaedic specialists treat a wide range of conditions and injuries, including fractures, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, strains, tendonitis, bursitis, back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, and more.
Treatment options in Orthopaedics can vary depending on the specific condition or injury. They may include non-surgical approaches such as medication, physical therapy, bracing, and injections, as well as surgical interventions such as joint replacement, arthroscopy, fracture repair, and spinal surgery.
During an orthopaedic evaluation, the specialist will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may request diagnostic tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or blood tests. This comprehensive assessment helps the specialist determine an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
The recovery period after orthopaedic surgery can vary depending on the type of procedure and individual factors. It may range from weeks to months. Your orthopaedic surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions and guidance regarding rehabilitation exercises, medication, follow-up appointments, and any restrictions or precautions during the recovery period.
