What does an Orthopaedic do?
Orthopedic surgery focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of diseases of the bones, joints, ligament, muscles, tendons, and nerves. These specialists employ medical, physical, rehabilitation, and surgery to restore normal function.
Some orthopaedists are generalists, while others specialize in certain areas of the body, such as:
- Hip and knee
- Foot and ankle
- Shoulder and elbow
- Hand
- Spine
ORTHOPEDIC DOCTORS CAN TREAT INJURIES AND MAY BE ABLE TO HELP PREVENT INJURIES?
Broken bones, compression fractures, stress fractures, dislocations, muscle injury, and tendon tears or ruptures are common reasons people visit orthopedic doctors. Athletes will often work with orthopedists to help prevent future injury and optimize performance.
For example, some athletes are at risk for shoulder dislocation. And once they’ve experienced one dislocation, they’re at higher risk for future dislocations. Therapy may be able to help prevent future dislocations.
Orthopedic surgeons can repair broken bones and injuries to muscles and tendons, among other things, and help improve function and reduce or eliminate pain. They can also work in conjunction with other specialists such as therapists, rehabilitation doctors, and pain management specialists to optimize treatment. This will lead to improved function and mobility, reduced pain, and improved quality of life.
Some of the injuries that can be addressed with physical therapy, non-surgical treatments, and sometimes surgery include:
