FAQ

Orthopedic treatment focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing injuries or disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. This treatment can involve physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgery depending on the condition.
Orthopedic specialists treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, arthritis, ligament injuries (like ACL tears), joint pain, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, scoliosis, tendonitis, and sports injuries.
Non-surgical treatments include physical therapy, medications (such as anti-inflammatories or pain relievers), cortisone injections, bracing or casting, and lifestyle changes like weight management and exercise programs to reduce joint strain.
Common orthopedic surgeries include joint replacement (hip, knee, or shoulder), arthroscopy, fracture repair, ligament reconstruction (like ACL surgery), and spinal surgeries to treat herniated discs or spinal deformities.
To prepare for orthopedic surgery, follow your doctor’s pre-operative instructions, which may include stopping certain medications, arranging for post-surgery assistance, and fasting before the procedure. Pre-surgical physical therapy may also be recommended to strengthen muscles around the affected joint.
Most orthopedic treatments, including consultations, diagnostic tests (like X-rays and MRIs), physical therapy, and surgeries, are covered by health insurance. However, coverage may vary depending on your policy, so it’s best to check with your insurance provider.
Arthroscopy can be performed on various joints, including the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and ankle. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as torn cartilage, ligament injuries, and inflamed joint linings.
Arthroscopy is less invasive than traditional open surgery. It uses smaller incisions, leading to reduced pain, less scarring, and faster recovery times. Most patients can return to normal activities sooner than with open surgery.
Yes, physical therapy is often recommended after arthroscopy to help restore joint function, strength, and flexibility. Your surgeon will create a personalized recovery plan based on your specific needs.
The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition being treated. Your surgeon will provide more specific details based on your case.
Common types of orthopedic trauma include fractures (broken bones), dislocations, ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), soft tissue injuries (muscle or tendon tears), and spinal injuries. Severe cases may involve multiple injuries to different parts of the body, known as polytrauma.
Orthopedic trauma is typically diagnosed through a physical examination and imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. These tests help the doctor assess the extent of the injury and determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Untreated trauma injuries can lead to long-term complications such as chronic pain, joint instability, deformity, nerve damage, or improper healing (mal-union or non-union of fractures). In some cases, untreated trauma can cause permanent disability or limited mobility.
Joint replacement surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments like medications, physical therapy, or injections no longer provide relief, and the patient experiences severe pain, stiffness, or mobility limitations that affect daily activities and quality of life.
The most commonly replaced joints are the hip, knee, and shoulder. However, other joints like the elbow, ankle, and wrist can also be replaced when necessary, depending on the extent of the damage and the patient’s condition.
Joint replacement surgery generally takes between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the joint being replaced and the complexity of the procedure. Your surgeon will provide more specific details during the consultation.
Recovery times vary, but most patients can resume light activities within 4 to 6 weeks. Full recovery, including returning to more physically demanding activities, typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the joint and the individual’s overall health and commitment to rehabilitation.
Artificial joints usually last 15 to 20 years, depending on the type of implant, the joint replaced, and the patient's activity level. Over time, the implant may wear out, and revision surgery may be needed to replace the worn-out components.
Yes, physical therapy is an essential part of the recovery process after joint replacement surgery. It helps strengthen the muscles around the new joint, restore flexibility, and ensure proper function, allowing patients to regain mobility more quickly.
Yes, joint replacement surgery is typically covered by health insurance, but coverage may vary based on your specific plan. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand what is covered, including surgery, hospital stays, and rehabilitation.
