You should seek the advice of an orthopedic surgeon if chronic joint or bone pain, loss of active motion, sports injuries, fractures, arthritis, or if the symptoms have been unresponsive to non-surgical treatments are relevant in your case.
No, surgery is not always indicated. Many orthopedic problems can be treated with medical management, physiotherapy, splints, injections, and lifestyle modifications. In general, when those conservative methods have been ineffective, surgery will be called for.
Orthopedic doctors perform a wide range of surgeries, from joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder) to fracture repairs, arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and correction of bone deformities.
Recovery time varies based on the type of surgery performed, the health of the patient, and the rehabilitation that ensues. Minor surgeries may heal in weeks, while joint replacements or major repairs may take months.
To aid in recovery, you should follow your surgeon's postoperative directions, attend physical therapy sessions, eat a healthy diet, remain active within set limits, and refrain from smoking.
Generally, orthopaedic surgeries are considered safe and are performed with meticulous techniques. There are always some risks involved in any surgery, with well-known complications such as infection, blood clots, or complications from anaesthesia. Your surgeon will talk with you regarding the associated risks, and you can ask any questions during your discussion.
Orthopedic doctors, especially those specialising in sports medicine, are trained to treat sports injuries that cover ligament injuries, dislocations, fractures, and tendon injuries.
