What conditions does an orthopaedic doctor treat?
Orthopaedic doctors treat problems of bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and the spine, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, back pain, and deformities.
When is joint replacement surgery usually recommended?
It is considered when severe arthritis causes persistent pain and stiffness that no longer improves with medicines, physiotherapy, or other non-surgical treatments.
What is arthroscopy, and how does it help?
Arthroscopy is a keyhole procedure using a small camera to examine and treat joint problems, usually causing less pain and quicker recovery.
What are the warning signs of a bone tumour?
Persistent bone pain, especially at night, a growing swelling, unexplained fractures after minor injury, and limited movement need immediate specialist evaluation.
How can bone and joint health be maintained?
Regular exercise, a calcium and vitamin D-rich diet, a healthy weight, good posture, and avoiding smoking help keep bones and joints healthy.
