Conditions

An orthopaedic surgeon will typically start with a physical examination, review of medical history, and imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. Based on the results of the examination, the orthopaedic surgeon will then recommend a line of treatment.

Causes of musculoskeletal disorders

There are many causes of musculoskeletal disorders in orthopaedics, which can be broadly grouped into the following categories:

Age-related: Many orthopaedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and spinal stenosis are more common as people age and are caused by the natural wear and tear on the bones, joints and muscles.

Trauma: Trauma or injury to the bones, joints, and muscles, such as fractures, sprains, and dislocations can cause orthopaedic disorders.

Overuse: Repetitive motions, such as playing sports or performing certain types of work, can lead to overuse injuries and conditions like tendinitis, bursitis, and stress fractures

Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and osteogenesis imperfecta can also cause orthopaedic disorders.

Genetics: Some orthopaedic conditions, such as scoliosis, are hereditary and are passed down through families.

Lifestyle factors such as obesity, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption can also contribute to the development of orthopaedic disorders.

It’s important to note that some orthopaedic disorders may not cause any symptoms in the early stages, or symptoms may develop gradually. In some cases, orthopaedic disorders may be discovered incidentally during routine physical examination or imaging. If you have any concerns about symptoms you may be experiencing, it’s best to consult an orthopaedic surgeon.

Symptoms

Symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in orthopaedics can vary depending on the specific condition, but some common signs include:

Pain: Pain in the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments is the most common symptom of orthopaedic disorders.

Stiffness: Joints may feel stiff or difficult to move.

Swelling: Inflammation and swelling may occur in the affected area.

Weakness: Weakness or loss of strength in the affected area

Limited range of motion: The ability to move the affected join may be limited.

Deformity: Some orthopaedic conditions can cause deformities such as a curved spine in scoliosis or a joint that appears to be out of place in a dislocation.

Numbness or tingling: Some orthopaedic conditions can cause nerve compression which can lead to numbness or tingling in the affected area

It’s important to note that some orthopaedic disorders may not cause any symptoms in the early stages, or symptoms may develop gradually. In some cases, orthopaedic disorders may be discovered incidentally during routine physical examination or imaging. If you have any concerns about symptoms you may be experiencing, it’s best to consult an orthopaedic surgeon.

Advance Treatments with SRV Hospitals

Treatment for musculoskeletal disorders in orthopaedics can vary depending on the specific condition and the severity of the disorder. Some common treatment options include:

Medications: such as pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants to help with pain and inflammation.

Physical therapy: exercises and techniques to help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Bracing or splinting: to immobilise and protect an injured area. Injections such as corticosteroids to help reduce inflammation and pain.

Surgery: In cases where conservative treatment options are not sufficient, surgery may be required. Some examples of orthopaedic surgeries are joint replacement, spinal surgery, arthroscopy, and fracture fixation.

Lifestyle changes: such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and getting regular exercise can help to prevent and manage orthopaedic conditions.

Orthopaedic surgeons also perform a variety of surgical procedures, such as joint replacement, spinal surgery, and arthroscopy. They may also prescribe medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes to help manage conditions.

The goal of treatment is often to control the symptoms and prevent complications of the disorder. In some cases, a cure may be possible, such as in certain types of fractures. In other cases, treatment may be focused on slowing the progression of the disease and managing symptoms. Your orthopaedic surgeon will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
