What is orthopedic surgery?

Orthopedic surgery is an area of medicine that specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system — bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons. The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County provides medical and surgical care.

The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County has offered expert orthopedic care for more than 65 years. The team includes orthopedic surgeons who use some of the most advanced treatments, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, arthroscopic surgery, and microsurgery (surgery requiring an operating microscope).

What happens during an orthopedic surgery consultation?

The details of your orthopedic surgery consultation will depend on your health issue. Your Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County provider asks detailed questions about your symptoms and how they affect your activities.

They review your medical history and complete a physical exam, paying close attention to the injured or painful part of your body. Though they can diagnose conditions after a history and physical exam, the team might order imaging to confirm a diagnosis.

The Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County is a state-of-the-art practice with an open MRI machine that takes detailed images of your body’s interior parts for quick diagnosis and treatment.

What are orthopedic surgery treatments?

Orthopedic Center of Palm Beach County is a full-service practice providing all the treatments needed to reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function. Orthopedic surgery treatments include medical or surgical interventions. 

The team usually starts with conservative care like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), activity changes, and rehabilitation using physical and occupational therapies.

If conservative care fails to improve your pain or function or you have an injury that isn’t healing, the team would consider orthopedic surgery. They personalize your surgical plan using the most effective approach for the best outcome.
