What it involves
An orthopaedic consultation is an appointment with a surgeon who specialises in bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. The doctor asks about your problem, examines you and may review X-rays or scans. They then explain the likely causes and the options, which include non-surgical treatment as well as surgery where appropriate.
Who it is for
It is for people with joint pain, injuries such as fractures, persistent back or limb problems and conditions such as osteoarthritis. The World Health Organization notes that osteoarthritis is a common joint condition, and many people are referred by a general doctor or physiotherapist.
How long it usually takes
A consultation commonly lasts from fifteen to thirty minutes, with extra time if imaging is needed.
What to expect
The specialist asks when the problem began and how it affects you, checks movement, strength and stability, and discusses images. You are told about your options, including exercise, medicines, injections or surgery, and the risks of each. You can take time to decide.
Aftercare
Follow the plan you agree. Attend physiotherapy if advised, and report new symptoms. Ask about the follow-up and what to do if things change.
When to seek it
See a doctor for joint pain that persists, an injury that does not improve, or limited movement. A suspected fracture, a joint that cannot bear weight, or severe swelling needs urgent attention.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on the surgeon, the length of the visit, imaging, and any follow-up or procedures. HealthNaro shows a price only where a clinic has supplied a figure with a source and date.
