Orthopedic
Some of the common orthopedic disorders are acute injuries, hip fracture, ligament injuries to the knee, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, osteomyelitis, shoulder pain and problems, torn meniscus, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
Some of the common causes of orthopaedic injuries are slipping and falling, vehicular accidents, in-home accidents, occupational accidents, sudden twisting motions, sports accidents, and a direct blow to the body. The patient may suffer from dislocations, fractures, breaks, sprains, etc.
Some of the signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of an orthopaedic condition are as follows.
- Pain with a range of motion
- Swelling or redness of joints
- Stiffness, limping, loss of ability to walk
- Steady pain in joints that gets worse with activity
- Muscle twitches
- Deformities in the affected area
- Fever
- Sweating
- Cracking or popping sound in the joint
Having any of the above signs and symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you have an orthopedic disorder or injury. If you have persistent and recurrent bone, joint, or muscle pain or swelling that can't be treated at home or a significant reduction of a joint's range of motion or mobility, such as your knee, elbow, or shoulder, making it difficult to carry out daily tasks, then you must see a doctor. Your doctor will take your detailed medical history before making a diagnosis. He/she might examine you to find out:
- If your pain is acute or chronic
- If you experience additional signs, like a fever or rash
- Factors that make pain worse or relieve it
If your doctor confirms the changes and suspects any musculoskeletal damage, he/she may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon.
An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical doctor who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. They specialize in the surgery of bones, joints, and muscles to treat various kinds of orthopaedic disorders or injuries.
Some of the common diagnostic tests to diagnose orthopaedic disorders are X-rays, bone marrow biopsy, arthroscopy, discography, electromyography, MRI scan, skeletal scintigraphy, electromyography, CT scan, myelogram, etc.
Based on your diagnosis and the severity of symptoms, your doctor will advise a treatment plan. A surgical procedure may be considered if conservative mentors like rest, physiotherapy or medications do not provide relief. Some of the common orthopedic surgeries are arthroscopic surgeries, robotic surgeries, cartilage repair or resurfacing procedures, fracture care, arthroplasty or joint replacements, ACL and PCL reconstruction surgery, shoulder replacement (arthroplasty), acetabular fixation, etc.
If you ever experience an orthopedic disorder, it's crucial to get the right medical attention on time. Delaying diagnosis or treatment might significantly worsen your condition and your ability to move. If an orthopedic surgery is too expensive, has a longer wait period, or advanced facilities and expertise are not available in your home country, then you might anticipate traveling abroad to leading healthcare destinations like India. But before traveling abroad for orthopedic surgery, you need to gather all the required information such as treatment cost, destination, hospital, doctor, and know all available options before making a decision.
