Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consult an orthopaedic doctor for knee pain?
Consult an orthopaedic doctor if knee pain persists, causes swelling, affects walking or limits your daily activities.
Do all fractures require surgery?
No. Some fractures can heal with immobilisation, while others require surgical treatment depending on their location, severity and stability.
Is back pain always caused by a spinal problem?
No. Back pain can have several causes, including muscle strain, joint conditions and spinal disorders. An assessment helps identify the likely cause.
Can arthritis be completely cured?
Some forms of arthritis can be managed effectively, but chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis do not currently have a guaranteed cure. Treatment aims to reduce pain and improve function.
Can I walk after a fracture?
It depends on the type and location of the fracture. Follow your doctor's instructions about weight-bearing and movement.
When should I get an X-ray for joint pain?
An X-ray may be recommended after an injury or when the doctor suspects a bone or joint condition. It is not necessary for every type of joint pain.
