Frequently Asked Questions

An Orthopedic doctor specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders like muscle strains, hip and knee arthritis, fractures, ankle sprains, and shoulder tendonitis, focusing on non-surgical patient management. On the other hand, an orthopedic surgeon, a medical doctor, offers both non-surgical treatments and performs surgeries on bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons, including highly advanced arthroscopic procedures.

Orthopedists can manage a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal problems, from common issues like strains and dislocations to more complex conditions such as knee ligament tears, elbow bursitis, and joint arthritis affecting various parts of the body.

Joint replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged joint with an artificial one, primarily in the hip, knee, and occasionally in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger, and ankle. Candidates for joint replacement typically experience persistent pain unresponsive to conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy, often accompanied by visible bone damage in X-rays due to long-term joint use.

Recovery duration varies based on factors like age, pre-surgery health, and the procedure. Minimally invasive surgeries often lead to faster recoveries, contingent upon adherence to post-operative physical therapy and rehabilitation.

The initial visit involves a comprehensive medical history review, a physical examination, and potentially ordering imaging tests like X-rays for further assessment. The meeting is a chance for the physician to understand your health, lifestyle, and symptoms, building a rapport and planning further steps for diagnosis and treatment.
