What is Orthopaedics? Orthopaedics is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves and allows you to move, work and be active. Orthopaedic visits start with a personal interview and physical examination. This may be followed by diagnostic tests such as blood tests, X-rays, or other tests. Treatment may involve medical counseling, medications, casts, splints, therapy, exercise or surgery. For most orthopaedic diseases and injuries there is more than one form of treatment. Your physician will discuss treatment options with you and help you select the best treatment plan. Orthopaedic surgery is the medical specialty that encompasses the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Orthopaedic surgeons treat a variety of problems in all ages of patients. Spine and back conditions range from herniated discs and low back or neck pain, to complex problems such as spinal tumors, scoliosis and spine fractures. Many spine problems can be managed by non-operative techniques such as medication, home exercise, injections, and physical therapy or rehabilitation. If surgery is clearly indicated, qualified spine surgeons can perform the full spectrum of services at CRMC. A total hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the diseased cartilage and bone of the hip joint is surgically replaced with artificial materials. Hip replacements are commonly performed when progressively severe arthritis in the hip joint impairs walking, climbing stairs and standing. Replacement is generally considered after pain becomes so severe that it impedes normal function despite use of anti-inflammatory medications. A total knee replacement is generally performed when a person has a severe degenerative joint disorder such as osteoarthritis in which the articular, or moving, surfaces of the knee deteriorate, leading to severe pain, limitation or loss of function and/or deformity of the joint. Other treatments usually used before knee replacement surgery include:
Evaluation and treatment services are offered for hand, shoulder and elbow injuries, arthritis, congenital deformities, upper extremity joint replacement, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon problems, rotator cuff problems, and shoulder problems.
