FAQ's

Common symptoms that may require a consultation with an orthopaedic specialist include:

Occasional or constant pain lasting more than 3 months in bones and joints
Facing difficulty in standing or moving joints
Joint stiffness
Injuries that do not respond to conventional therapies, like over-the-counter medications or ice therapy
Other symptoms that affect your hands or legs

In some cases, severe symptoms like broken bones or trauma will require emergency care. Our specialists at Apollo Hospitals in Secunderabad will ensure prompt care and a comprehensive recovery.

During your first orthopaedic visit, you will briefly discuss your symptoms and your medical history with our specialist. A thorough physical examination is then conducted to check for pain, swelling, or stiffness. You may also be told to perform simple exercises, such as walking, standing, or other simple tasks. Based on the initial assessment, diagnostic procedures, such as imaging, blood tests, biopsies, or other tests might be recommended to obtain a precise diagnosis. Treatment plans are then discussed, and our specialist will address any questions or worries you have regarding your proposed course of action.

Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in joints and connective tissues. It is one of the most common diseases affecting older people. Causes range from wear and tear to autoimmune disease and viral infections. Conventional treatments for arthritis usually include medications, cortisone shots, and physical therapy. Surgery, such as joint replacement or fusion procedures, is considered if traditional therapies do not respond to treatment.

For most sprains or strains, the R.I.C.E. method is recommended as initial first aid. R.I.C.E. stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, and should be applied for the first 1-3 days following the injury. You can see if you can start using your joint if there is minimal pain. However, if the pain persists or does not improve within 5 to 7 days, you will have to seek medical attention.

Specialists at Apollo Hospitals cater to a spectrum of sports injuries, some of which include, but are not limited to:

Fractures or dislocations
Ligament tears
Tennis and golfer's elbow
Swollen muscles
Achilles tendon rupture
Rotator cuff injury

One can follow several steps to prevent sports injuries; some of them include:

Performing a proper warm-up and stretching
Using proper techniques and paying attention to your stance and posture
Wearing the right shoes and accessories for protection
Refraining from overdoing
Taking adequate rest
Cooling down in between activities
Trying to resume your activities slowly after an acute injury

Surgery is recommended only in severe cases, and our specialists will explain the rationale behind requiring one if that is the only intervention available to manage your condition. At Apollo Hospitals, the Department of Orthopaedics prioritises employing cutting-edge techniques, including minimally invasive surgeries. Therefore, you can be assured that our approach focuses on reducing recovery time and minimising discomfort, ensuring you receive the best possible care.

The recovery process can vary based on the type of orthopaedic surgery performed, the severity of the condition, general health, and the pace of recovery. In most cases, the recovery process usually includes adequate rest, followed by rehabilitation, which includes physical and occupational therapy to strengthen your bones and facilitate movement. Medications to address pain and infections will be given, and follow-up appointments will be scheduled. This is done to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your medication if required.
