Orthopaedic
Overview
An orthopedic surgeon is a medical professional with advanced training in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to bones, joints, and muscles. This includes disorders like arthritis, fractures, tendon injuries, sports injuries, osteoporosis, scoliosis, and joint replacement.
A pediatric orthopedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions in children from infancy through adolescence. While some disorders overlap with those seen in adults, others are specific to younger patients. Pediatric orthopedic surgeons address common issues like fractures, scoliosis, clubfoot, and limb deformities, as well as growth-related concerns.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Orthopedic surgeons are skilled clinicians capable of diagnosing complex conditions through thorough history and physical examination. This includes assessments of joint mobility, muscle strength, reflexes, posture, and gait. Despite advancements in technology, the orthopedic exam remains a vital component of patient evaluation.
