Conditions That an Orthopedist Treats

Some of the most common bone and joint conditions that an orthopedist may treat include:

  • Fractures – breaks in the bone
  • Nonunions – failure of fractures to heal
  • Malunions – fractures that heal in an incorrect position
  • Osteoporosis – a condition in which bones lose strength and density, becoming thinner and more fragile
  • Congenital bone diseases – bone conditions present at or soon after birth
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome – compression of the median nerve causing pain and numbness in the hand and wrist
  • Rheumatoid arthritis – an autoimmune disease causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of joint function
  • Lupus – an autoimmune disease affecting the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and other organs
  • Bursitis – inflammation of the cushioning pads around joints
  • Chondromalacia patellae – breakdown of cartilage in the kneecap
  • Gout – a painful form of arthritis caused by uric acid crystal buildup in the joints
  • Osteoarthritis – the most common form of arthritis, often related to aging
  • Osteomyelitis – a bone infection caused by bacteria, fungi, or other germs
  • Septic arthritis – joint infection caused by bacteria or microorganisms spreading through the bloodstream
  • Tendinitis – inflammation of a tendon
  • Strains or sprains – injuries to ligaments caused by overstretching

Orthopedic Diagnosis and Treatment

An orthopedist may ask about your symptoms and perform a physical examination to assess your condition. Additional diagnostic tests may include:

  • X-rays
  • Bone scans
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
  • Arthrograms (joint X-rays)
  • Ultrasound
  • Nerve conduction studies
  • Blood tests

If an in-office procedure such as an X-ray is not available, the orthopedist may discuss alternative treatment options. Chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain or arthritis may be treated with corticosteroid or other injections in joints, tendons, ligaments, or around the spine.

Additional treatment options may include:

  • Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy
  • Home exercise programs
  • Acupuncture
  • Mobility aids
  • Surgery

The first step to treating joint pain is understanding your condition. Speak with one of our orthopedic providers to learn more about your diagnosis and treatment options.
