Orthopedics is a medical field that focuses on conditions and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system. This includes your ligaments, bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and nerves.

People visit an orthopedic doctor when they suffer from an injury or have a chronic condition, such as lower back pain or arthritis.

An orthopedic specialist is also referred to as an orthopedic surgeon, who focuses on helping you in getting relief from musculoskeletal issues. Their duties generally include:

• Diagnosing as well as treating conditions that may affect your musculoskeletal system.
• Assisting or rehabilitation, aimed at regaining movement, strength, flexibility, and range of motion following an injury or surgery.
• Forming strategies or treatment plans to prevent injury and to provide alternative treatment options to prevent worsening of chronic conditions like arthritis.
• While an orthopedic specialist has complete knowledge about all parts of the musculoskeletal system, some of them specialize further. Some of the subspecialty areas of orthopedics include hip, spine, knee, foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand, trauma surgery, and sports medicine.

Different orthopedic specialists specialize even further in specific parts of the body, such as the hip, ankle, foot, or shoulder. A few of them also specialize in treating children. Pediatric orthopedists monitor bone growth issues in children, such as like scoliosis or developmental problems that a child is born with, such as clubfoot or hip dysplasia.

Aspiring orthopedic specialists need to obtain a 5½ years MBBS degree and then 2- 3 years MS (orthopedics). Interested candidates have to follow the below-given steps to become an orthopedic specialist:

Step 1:

Science students who have appeared in +2 (with Chemistry, physics, and biology as main subjects) need to appear in a medical entrance test.

Step 2:

After completing the four and half years of MBBS course and one year and six months of mandatory training, one has to pursue MS (Ortho) to work as an Orthopaedic Surgeon.

Step 3:

After completing two to three years of MS (Ortho) course, an Orthopaedist can get jobs in government hospitals and can also open their own clinic to provide services to patients.

Orthopedic doctors treat a wide variety of conditions, including but not limited to the following:

• tennis elbow
• ankle sprain
• meniscus tear
• bone fractures
• muscle strains
• joint or back pain
• arthritis
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• injuries to tendons or ligaments like tendonitis, sprains, and ACL tears
• limb abnormalities, such as bowlegs and clubfoot
• bone cancer
• fractures, such as broken hip, broken wrist, kneecap, compression fracture of the vertebrae
• ruptured disks and spinal stenosis
• Carpal tunnel, hand arthritis, and hand injuries
• club foot, bow legs, and hip dysplasia
• Achilles tendon injuries, bunions, and foot, and ankle injuries
• osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, osteomalacia
• Tenosynovitis, tendinitis, muscle atrophy

Your orthopedic specialist may recommend some tests to get a better picture of your problem. Most of the diagnostic imaging procedures are noninvasive and also give high-resolution images of bones, tendons, joints, or muscles.

Some diagnostic tests to detect orthopedic conditions are as follows:

• Bone density scan
• Computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan
• Fluoroscopy
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasound
• X-ray
• Arthrography
• Bone scan
• Computed Tomography (CT Scan)
• Discography
• Doppler Ultrasound
• Dual-Photon Absorptiometry
• Electromyography
• Peripheral Bone Density Testing
• Radiographs

The human body has more than 300 bones and joints. If just one of them is not functioning properly, you could experience pain and discomfort which may affect your day-to-day activities. You may want to know when to visit an orthopedic specialist. An orthopedic doctor specializes in the treatment of conditions related to the bones and joints and can help in the diagnosis and treatment of your ailments. Knowing when to see an orthopedic doctor may not be always easy, but the below-given symptoms and signs are a sure indication to see an orthopedic specialist.

• Difficulty performing daily activities
• Suffering from consistent chronic pain
• Range of motions becoming very limited
• Experiencing instability while walking or standing
• Have a soft tissue injury
• Any joint or bone injury with broken skin
• Joint or extremity is deformed, for example, a finger that is now crooked
• Loss of range of motion in a joint like your elbow, knee, or shoulder
• Pain, swelling, loss of motion, and discoloration lasting more than 48 hours
• Tingling and numb hands
• Trouble climbing stairs
• Shoulder pain
• Painful joints
• Twisted ankles
• Swollen wrist or joints

An orthopedic specialist will ask you about your general health, previous health conditions, complete family medical history, and other current conditions that you may be suffering from. They will especially want to know about conditions such as anemia, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, obesity, and hypertension, because these conditions may affect the treatment options that the surgeon provides.

You need to discuss all pain that you are currently experiencing with your orthopedic doctor. You will also likely discuss it in detail with your doctor.

Also, make sure you discuss any past injuries or existing conditions that could be having a negative effect on the existing orthopedic condition. Before your consultation with the doctor, it might be helpful to maintain a pain journal where you could record activities and positions that are causing pain anywhere in the body. Don’t forget to bring the journal along with you for your consultation and share it with the doctor.
