FAQ’s

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and related structures.

An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. They address a wide range of issues, from fractures and joint replacements to spine deformities and sports injuries.

Orthopedic surgeons treat various conditions, including fractures, arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, musculoskeletal trauma, degenerative disc diseases, scoliosis, and more.

Joint replacement surgery involves removing a damaged or arthritic joint and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis). Common joint replacements include hip replacements and knee replacements.

Yes, many orthopedic conditions can be managed with non-surgical approaches such as physical therapy, pain management, medication, bracing, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is often considered when conservative treatments are ineffective.

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways in an abnormal manner. It can develop during growth spurts in childhood or adolescence and may require orthopedic intervention if severe.

Orthopedic surgeons frequently treat sports-related injuries like ligament tears (such as ACL tears), muscle strains, tendon injuries, and fractures. Treatment may involve surgery or non-surgical methods depending on the severity of the injury.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Orthopedic specialists can diagnose and treat this condition.

To prevent orthopedic injuries, maintain a healthy weight, engage in regular exercise to strengthen muscles and bones, use proper techniques during physical activities, warm up before exercising, wear appropriate protective gear, and practice good posture.

Orthopedic rehabilitation involves specialized exercises and therapies designed to help patients recover from orthopedic injuries, surgeries, or conditions. It aims to restore mobility, function, and strength.

Treatment for fractures depends on the location, type, and severity of the fracture. It can range from casting and splinting to surgical procedures involving realignment and fixation of the broken bones.

Yes, orthopedic specialists who focus on pediatric orthopedics treat musculoskeletal issues in children, such as developmental disorders, fractures, scoliosis, and limb deformities.

Yes, ongoing research in orthopedics aims to develop better surgical techniques, implant materials, and non-surgical treatments. Researchers also study ways to improve patient outcomes and quality of life after orthopedic interventions.

You should consider seeing an orthopedic specialist if you experience persistent pain, limited mobility, joint instability, difficulty performing daily activities, or any musculoskeletal concern that affects your quality of life.
