Orthopedic specialists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including fractures, joint pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and spinal disorders.
Common orthopedic surgeries include joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), arthroscopy, spinal surgery, and repair of fractures or torn ligaments.
Orthopedic surgeons specialize in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the musculoskeletal system, while general practitioners provide a broad range of medical care and may refer patients to specialists for more focused treatment.
Prepare by bringing any relevant medical records, a list of your symptoms, previous treatments, medications you are taking, and any questions you have for the specialist.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, blood clots, and complications related to anesthesia. Discussing these risks with your surgeon beforehand is important to understand the specific risks for your procedure.
Candidates are typically those with severe knee pain or disability caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other joint conditions that have not responded to nonsurgical treatments.
Preparation includes medical evaluations, physical therapy, adjustments to medications, and preparing your home for post-surgery recovery. Your specialist will provide specific guidelines.
Recovery varies, but most patients resume normal activities within 6 to 12 weeks. Full recovery and the return to high-impact activities may take up to a year.
