Your Questions Answered
1. When should I see an orthopedic surgeon?
You should seek the expertise of an orthopedic surgeon when you notice:
- Pain that worsens with activity.
- Limited range of motion in a joint.
- Instability when walking or standing.
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in a limb.
2. Will I always need surgery if I see an orthopaedic surgeon?
Not necessarily. But many conditions can be treated with non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, medication, or injections. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatments are not effective.
3. Do orthopaedic surgeons also treat children?
Yes, many orthopaedic surgeons have expertise in paediatric orthopaedics, providing specialised treatments for conditions, such as clubfoot, developmental hip disorders, and childhood fractures.
4. Can lifestyle changes help prevent orthopaedic problems?
Yes, engaging in regular exercise, following a balanced diet, maintaining good posture, and taking precautions to prevent injuries can significantly lower the risk of developing orthopaedic conditions.
5. How do I prepare for orthopaedic surgery?
Your doctor may provide specific guidance, but in general, you may be advised to undergo medical tests, adjust certain medications, make lifestyle changes, and prepare a physiotherapy plan for recovery.
6. Why might I need an arthroscopy?
Your doctor may recommend arthroscopy to diagnose or treat conditions such as torn cartilage / meniscus, ligament injuries, joint inflammation, loose bone or cartilage fragments, or damaged joint surfaces.
7. How long is the recovery after arthroscopy?
Recovery time depends on the joint involved and the type of procedure performed. Many patients resume normal activities within a few weeks, while athletes undergoing major repairs may require a longer rehabilitation period.
8. What is arthroplasty?
Arthroplasty, commonly known as joint replacement surgery, is a procedure in which a damaged or diseased joint is replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis) to relieve pain and restore mobility.
9. What is the recovery period after arthroplasty?
Recovery varies by joint and patient condition. Generally, patients may resume basic activities within 4-6 weeks, while complete recovery and return to full function may take several months with physiotherapy.
10. How long is the hospital stay after arthroplasty?
Most patients remain in the hospital for 2 to 5 days following arthroplasty, though some may be discharged earlier depending on the type of procedure and their individual recovery progress.
