FAQs

What is an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

According to the Australian Orthopaedic Association, an orthopaedic surgeon is a doctor who specialises in the musculoskeletal system. Conditions of the bones, tendons, joints, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and nerves can be diagnosed and treated by an orthopaedic surgeon.

What does an orthopaedic surgeon do?

During a consultation with a orthopaedic surgeon, you can expect:

A thorough review of your medical history to understand your physical and musculoskeletal health. This involves questioning, reviewing previous tests and performing a physical examination. Refer you for testing, such as imaging, blood tests and screening movement. Providing and recommending treatments (e.g. surgery, medications, injections, etc.) Monitoring your physical state and symptoms.

Common procedures performed by an Orthopaedic Surgeon

Orthopaedic surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of surgical and non-surgical procedures to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the most common procedures performed by an orthopaedic surgeon include:

  • Joint replacement surgery: This is a surgical procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon replaces a damaged joint (such as a hip or knee joint) with a prosthetic joint. Joint replacement surgery can treat conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Arthroscopy: This is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon inserts a small camera (an arthroscope) into a joint through a small incision. The camera allows the surgeon to see the inside of the joint and perform procedures such as removing debris or repairing damaged tissue. Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including torn ligaments and cartilage injuries.

  • Fracture repair: This is a surgical procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon repairs a broken bone. Fracture repair can be performed using various techniques, such as using screws or plates to hold the bone in place or using pins to stabilise the bone. Fracture repair can treat a wide range of fractures, including fractures of the arm, leg, and pelvis.

  • Spinal surgery: This is a surgical procedure in which an orthopaedic surgeon treats conditions that affect the spine, such as spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) and herniated disks. Spinal surgery can be performed using various techniques, including spinal fusion (joining two or more vertebrae together) and decompression (removing pressure from the spinal cord or nerve roots).
