Orthopedics

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

An orthopedic specialist treats conditions such as osteoarthritis, sports injuries, fractures, scoliosis, herniated discs, meniscus and ligament injuries, as well as degenerative musculoskeletal diseases.

A consultation is recommended if you experience:

• Joint pain, bone pain, or spinal pain
• Swelling, redness, or limited mobility
• Injuries – fractures, dislocations, sprains
• Clicking or popping sounds in the joints
• Chronic knee, hip, or shoulder pain
• Deformities or scoliosis
• Sports or occupational injuries
• Suspected osteoporosis or degenerative joint conditions

To ensure the most effective visit:

1. Bring previous imaging results – X-ray, MRI, CT, and laboratory tests
2. Describe your symptoms in detail — onset, pattern, aggravating and relieving factors
3. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that allow easy movement and access to the affected area
4. Prepare a list of current medications and supplements
5. Write down questions about diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation options

The consultation begins with a conversation and detailed medical history (anamnesis) about symptoms, previous injuries, or illnesses.
This is followed by a physical examination including:

• Inspection and palpation of the affected area
• Assessment of range of motion, joint stability, and muscle strength
• Functional tests for gait and posture if needed

The orthopedic specialist may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as X-ray, MRI, CT, or ultrasound.
Based on the results, a personalized treatment plan is developed, which may include medication, physiotherapy, orthopedic devices, or surgical intervention.
