Orthopaedics

A specialist orthopaedic examination is a medical appointment focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders and conditions involving the human musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments that work in synergy to support movement and provide stability to the body. The main objective of the orthopaedic examination is to identify and address problems affecting these structures in order to improve function, alleviate pain and promote recovery.

During the examination, an orthopaedist performs a thorough physical examination to assess mobility, range of motion and the presence of deformities or physical abnormalities. This assessment is essential to identify traumatic injuries, degenerative or congenital pathologies, and disorders related to the use and wear of musculoskeletal structures. In some cases, imaging examinations, such as X-rays, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, may be required to obtain detailed images of the affected area and confirm the diagnosis.

A specialist orthopaedic examination aims to improve the patient's quality of life by reducing pain, restoring function and enabling a return to daily activities and sports. Through a combination of accurate assessment, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the orthopaedist helps patients manage and overcome a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders. The orthopaedic examination is a fundamental step towards the patient's long-term recovery and well-being.
