What conditions does an orthopedic doctor treat?
An orthopedic doctor diagnoses and treats conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and the spine, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, and joint pain.
When should I consult an orthopedic specialist?
Consider an orthopedic consultation for persistent bone or joint pain, swelling, stiffness, difficulty walking, restricted movement, or an injury that is not improving.
Can fractures be treated without surgery?
Many fractures can be treated with a cast, splint, or other nonsurgical methods. Surgery may be needed for certain displaced, unstable, open, or complex fractures.
When is knee replacement surgery recommended?
Knee replacement may be considered when severe joint damage causes persistent pain and limits daily activities despite appropriate nonsurgical treatment. The decision requires an individual assessment.
Is surgery always necessary for joint pain?
No. Depending on the cause, treatment may include medication, activity modification, physiotherapy, and other nonsurgical options. Surgery is considered when clinically appropriate.
How long does recovery take after orthopedic surgery?
Recovery varies with the procedure, the severity of the condition, general health, and rehabilitation needs. Your treating surgeon can provide an individualized recovery plan.
What should I bring to an orthopedic consultation?
Bring previous X-rays or scans, medical reports, prescriptions, details of previous injuries or operations, and a list of current medications.
