General Orthopaedic Conditions

Based on age, level of activity, anatomical variances amongst many other factors many of us develop conditions which are amendable to either conservative (non-surgical) or surgical orthopaedic treatment.

These conditions can present with pain either at rest or with activity, loss of range of motion of a joint, the feeling of instability or not being able to trust the limb and the inability to engage in activities that we would ordinarily want to do-such as simple activities such walking and self care or more involved activities such as sports or hobbies.

The treatment of these conditions depends on making the correct diagnosis through a comprehensive history and physical examination with judicious use of special investigations such as x-rays, ultrasound or MRI.
