Frequently Asked Questions

An orthopaedic surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Common conditions include fractures, ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), cartilage damage, joint degeneration, sports injuries, and congenital musculoskeletal disorders.

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves making small incisions and using a tiny camera and instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue in joints such as the knee, shoulder, ankle, or elbow.

Procedures include knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow arthroscopy, joint replacement surgeries (hip, knee, shoulder, elbow), ligament reconstruction (e.g., ACL repair), fracture fixation, hip and knee arthroplasty, and surgical treatment of tumours around bones or joints.

Sports medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to sports and physical activity. It includes rehabilitation programs, surgical repair of injuries, and strategies to optimise performance and prevent recurrence.

Recovery depends on the type of surgery and injury. Generally, it includes physical therapy, gradual return to movement and activity, pain management, and follow-up consultations to monitor healing and restore joint function.
