Orthopaedic surgeons are specialists in musculoskeletal health, and they treat a wide range of conditions, from joint inflammation to fractures. Some orthopaedic doctors focus on specific areas of the body, such as the hands, the shoulders, or the knees, and they’ll recommend treatments ranging from physical therapy to injections to surgery.
If you have knee pain, elbow pain, or discomfort in any joint, whether from a sports injury, overuse, or for no obvious reason, an orthopaedic specialist will be your go-to expert. They can help with diagnosing the cause of the pain, whether it’s inflammation, an injury, or the result of wear and tear.
Fractures are a clear case for an orthopaedic trauma specialist, as these are injuries where the bone has been broken. But not all joint issues are trauma-related; some are the result of chronic conditions or even improper technique during exercise, leading to overuse injuries or inflammation in the joints.
Orthopaedic specialists handle joint injections and surgeries. In some cases, joint issues may stem from a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the entire body. Depending on the complexity of your issue, the right specialist will handle your treatment, whether it’s for the shoulder, hip, or elbow. Among the top experts we have access to is the renowned professor Ali Ghoz, a knee and hip expert.
