Orthopedic specialist

Orthopedic, (from Greek words that mean “straight” and “child”) was first developed as a medical specialty to aid children with bone deformities. “Orthopaedics” is also a generally accepted spelling.

Orthopedic specialists treat auto and sports injuries

This branch of medicine is concerned with the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the “musculoskeletal system”. Orthopedic specialists treat auto and sports injuries, degenerative bone conditions, and birth defects. They are involved in back surgery, hip and knee replacement, shoulder and elbow repair, foot and hand reconstruction.

Common treatments practiced are knee and shoulder arthroscopy, a treatment that permits reconstruction with a minimum of intervention. Repair of bone fractures of all kinds is common, following sports or automobile accidents. The most delicate interventions are surgeries for back problems, including herniated discs and lumbar spinal fusion.

Orthopedic problems can leave patients unable to live a normal life or to earn a living.

Conditions that are not treated in a timely manner will usually lead to further physical degradation. Disc problems in the spine, untreated, will cause the discs nearby to degenerate. Joint problems uncared for will cause muscular degradation, making a full recovery even more difficult for the patient.

These medical treatments and operations can be very expensive. Some patients are faced with the difficult choice between physical incapacity and financial ruin.

Orthopedic specialists are highly trained medical practitioners

Waiting lists for orthopedic surgery can be months and even years. Unfortunately, this situation is going to become worse. As the present generation gets older, they will need more and more medical services. At the same time, many experienced doctors are also preparing for retirement.
