Orthopaedics and Traumatology specialists diagnose and treat musculoskeletal system disorders, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This includes fractures, joint dislocations, arthritis, sports injuries, spine conditions, and congenital deformities.
You should consult an orthopaedic doctor if you are experiencing persistent joint pain, limited range of motion, bone injuries, back or neck pain, or difficulty performing daily activities due to musculoskeletal discomfort.
During physical activity, sports injuries typically involve damage to muscles, ligaments, tendons, or bones. These often require specialised treatments such as arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction, or regenerative therapies tailored for athletes.
Common surgeries include joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), arthroscopic surgeries (knee, shoulder), fracture repair, ligament reconstruction, tendon repairs, and spinal surgeries.
Non-surgical options include physical therapy, medication, joint injections (such as corticosteroids or PRP), bracing, and regenerative medicine therapies like stem cell and PRP treatments.
Recovery time depends on the type and complexity of the surgery. Minor procedures like arthroscopy may take a few weeks, while joint replacement surgeries may require a few months of rehabilitation.
