  • Orthopedic Oncology: Diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the bones and soft tissues. This includes collaboration with oncologists for comprehensive cancer care.

Symptoms

  • Joint Pain: Persistent or intermittent pain in the joints is one of the most common symptoms of orthopedic conditions. This pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain and can be associated with conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or injuries.
  • Swelling and Inflammation: Swelling in the affected area is often a clear sign of an underlying orthopedic issue. Inflammation can result from joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or from acute injuries such as sprains and fractures. Swelling may be accompanied by warmth and redness in the affected area.
  • Stiffness and Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty in moving joints and muscles, resulting in stiffness, is a frequent symptom. Conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and muscle strains can lead to restricted movement, making everyday tasks challenging.
  • Weakness: Muscle weakness, particularly in the limbs, can indicate problems with the muscles, tendons, or nerves. Conditions like rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other nerve compression disorders often present with weakness.
  • Numbness and Tingling: These sensations, often described as pins and needles, can occur due to nerve compression or damage. Conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and peripheral neuropathy are common causes of numbness and tingling.
  • Deformities: Visible deformities, such as bowing of the legs, misalignment of joints, or abnormal curvature of the spine, can be signs of orthopedic conditions. These deformities can result from congenital issues, trauma, or degenerative diseases.
  • Arthritis: Symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Rheumatoid arthritis may also cause fatigue and loss of appetite.
  • Fractures: Symptoms include intense pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to move the affected area. Deformity might also be visible.
  • Tendonitis: Symptoms include pain and tenderness along a tendon, especially near a joint. Movement of the affected area may be painful.
  • Herniated Discs: Symptoms include back pain, numbness, and tingling in the limbs, and muscle weakness. Severe cases may cause loss of bowel or bladder control.

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Injuries: Traumatic events like falls, sports injuries, and accidents can cause fractures, dislocations, and ligament tears, stressing bones and joints.
  • Degenerative Diseases: Conditions like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis worsen over time, causing joint pain, stiffness, and increased fracture risk.
  • Congenital Disorders: Conditions like clubfoot, hip dysplasia, and scoliosis are present from birth, affecting bone and joint structure, needing early intervention.
  • Infections: Bacterial or viral infections in bones and joints can cause severe pain, swelling, and damage, needing prompt treatment.
  • Tumors: Abnormal growths in bones or tissues, benign or malignant, cause pain, swelling, and fractures. Early treatment is crucial.
  • Overuse Injuries: Repetitive activities can lead to tendonitis and stress fractures from continuous strain on muscles and joints.
  • Inflammatory Diseases: Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus cause joint inflammation, pain, swelling, and potential long-term damage.
  • Metabolic Disorders: Gout results from metabolic imbalances, causing uric acid buildup in joints, leading to intense pain and inflammation.
