FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When is it necessary to see an orthopedic surgeon?

Consult your orthopedic surgeon if you are experiencing ongoing joint or bone pain, limited movement, fractures, symptoms of arthritis, or injuries impacting your ability to move or perform daily tasks.

Does every orthopedic condition require surgery?

Not every orthopedic condition needs to be surgically repaired. Most orthopedic conditions are treated with medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, or other minimally invasive treatments before surgery is considered.

What are some of the more common procedures done by orthopedic surgeons?

Orthopedic surgeons do many types of surgery, including but not limited to fracture repair, hip and knee joint replacement, arthroscopic joint surgery, spinal surgery, ligament reconstruction, and surgery to correct bone deformities.

Are joint replacements safe?

Modern joint replacement surgery has been demonstrated to be highly safe and effective. Due to advanced implants and minimally invasive joint surgery, most patients notice quicker recovery and less pain, as well as restoration of joint function.

How long is the recovery following orthopedic surgery?

Recovery for orthopedic surgery can vary significantly in time, surgery type, and healthcare status. Minor procedures may only take a few weeks to recover fully, but something like a hip or knee replacement or spinal surgery could result in several months of rehabilitation.

Orthopedic surgeons have the training and knowledge to diagnose and treat multiple types of sports injuries, such as ligament tears, fractures, and tendon injuries, using surgical and/or conservative management.
