Orthopaedics and traumatology
Orthopaedics is a specialty focused on the treatment of acute and long-term musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. Seek medical attention if sudden pain, a fracture or restricted movement occurs.
The investigation of many musculoskeletal disorders or injuries begins at an appointment
Orthopaedic and traumatology professionals specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of bone, joint and supportive tissue diseases and injuries. Orthopaedics focuses on the treatment of long-term illnesses and injuries, while traumatology focuses on acute injuries.
Orthopaedists and traumatologists perform musculoskeletal surgeries. Typical surgical procedures include endoscopic, repair, fracture and arthroplasty procedures.
When to see a doctor for musculoskeletal problems or injuries?
If you experience sudden or severe symptoms, such as a fracture or severe pain, it is important to seek an immediate medical appointment. In some cases, such as mild joint pain, a remote appointment may also be sufficient.
Seek a medical appointment if:
- The pain is severe and worsens
- Restricted mobility or loss of mobility
- You notice changes in the shape of the limbs, such as deformities or clear swelling
- The pain is accompanied by numbness or tingling.
The prompt treatment of symptoms is important to avoid long-term harm and speed up recovery.
