Orthopedic Consultation and Examination

Orthopedic consultations involve comprehensive evaluations of musculoskeletal conditions by specialized orthopedic surgeons, including detailed medical histories, physical examinations, and, if necessary, diagnostic tests. These consultations cover a broad spectrum of conditions such as fractures, joint pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and congenital orthopedic issues. Standard examination tools like goniometers, reflex hammers, and musculoskeletal ultrasound devices are employed, with additional diagnostic tools like X-rays or MRIs ordered based on findings. Initial consultations do not entail surgical procedures; instead, orthopedic surgeons assess symptoms, order diagnostic tests as needed, and provide diagnoses and treatment plans.
