What Does an Orthopaedic Surgeon Do?
An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical specialist trained in diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopaedic specialists often treat issues such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Sports injuries
- Fractures and dislocations
- Spinal disorders
- Ligament tears (e.g. ACL injuries)
- Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
These surgeons use a combination of non-surgical interventions such as physiotherapy and medications, as well as surgical options like arthroscopy, fracture fixation, and joint replacement surgeries.
