What does an orthopaedic surgeon do?

An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and related nerves. Treatment may include non-surgical options, such as medication, injections or physiotherapy, as well as surgery when appropriate.

Why might you be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon?

You may be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon if you have a musculoskeletal condition that requires specialist assessment, particularly if symptoms are severe, persistent, caused by an injury, or may require surgical treatment.

When should you see an orthopaedic surgeon?

You may benefit from seeing an orthopaedic surgeon if you have ongoing bone, joint or muscle pain, reduced mobility, a fracture, a sports injury, arthritis, tendon or ligament injury, or symptoms that are affecting daily activities such as walking, sleeping or working.Seek urgent medical advice or go to A&E if you have severe pain after an injury, visible deformity, inability to bear weight, numbness or weakness, signs of infection such as fever, redness or swelling, or sudden loss of bladder or bowel control with back pain.Musculoskeletal conditions are common worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, around 1.71 billion people live with musculoskeletal conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, fractures, osteoarthritis and other injuries. A Global Burden of Disease study estimated that there were around 178 million new fracture cases worldwide in 2019.

Why choose an orthopaedic surgeon?

An orthopaedic surgeon can provide specialist assessment and advise on suitable treatment options for musculoskeletal conditions. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may be conservative, such as physiotherapy, medication or injections, or surgical.
