Orthopaedics

About this department

Orthopaedics treats conditions of the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments — fractures, arthritis, back and joint pain, and sports injuries. A consultation helps determine whether an injury needs rest and physiotherapy or a more involved procedure, and starting treatment early usually shortens recovery. Persistent joint pain or a limp that doesn't improve with rest is worth having assessed rather than managed indefinitely at home.
