Specialty
Care for bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and the spine, including joint pain, back pain, fractures and sports injuries.
Orthopedics deals with the musculoskeletal system: your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. An orthopedic doctor assesses pain, stiffness, injuries and movement problems and advises on treatment, exercise and rehabilitation.
An orthopedic assessment often starts with examination and, where needed, X-rays or other imaging. Blood tests such as calcium, vitamin D and uric acid may be suggested when bone health or gout is in question.
Bring a photo ID, any previous prescriptions, reports and scans, and a list of the medicines and supplements you take. Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, how long you have had them and your medical and family history, examine you, and explain whether any tests are needed. Please confirm available services, timings and fees with the hospital before you visit.
Seek urgent medical care after a serious injury, if a limb looks deformed, if you cannot bear weight, or if back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or sudden leg weakness.
