Dallas Surgeons Discuss When to Pursue Orthopaedic Surgery
The board-certified surgeons of All-Star Orthopaedics in the DFW area give insight into the musculoskeletal conditions which may warrant a visit to an orthopaedic surgeon.
Dallas, TX – According to the Dallas-Fort Worth orthopaedic surgeons of All-Star Orthopaedics, concerns affecting the bones, muscles, and joints can be extremely debilitating. Whether these conditions are present in the feet, hands, hips, spine, or elsewhere, these issues can interfere with numerous daily activities, not limited to walking, sleeping, and eating, the surgeons explain. As such, the physicians of All-Star Orthopaedics urge patients who are facing such issues to seek the help of a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon. This type of physician, they note, will have received specialized training and education to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. They also advise patients that in certain cases (generally as a last resort), surgery may be the best option to relieve pain or mobility issues in the muscles or tendons.
Because the team at All-Star Orthopaedics understands that it may be difficult for patients to discern when to pursue orthopaedic surgery, they have provided this list of common orthopaedic concerns that can require surgical care:
- Chronic pain. If a patient experiences significant discomfort in a ligament or tendon for more than 12 weeks, the surgeons encourage them to seek the help of an orthopaedic doctor.
- Sport- or accident-induced trauma. The doctors advise patients who have suffered a sports injury or sustained damage in an accident to seek immediate help from an orthopaedic doctor. Otherwise, patients may face permanent damage to the ligament.
- Soft tissue injuries. All-Star Orthopaedics’ surgical team states that soft tissue injuries, such as sprains and fractures of the foot or ankle, can sometimes heal without surgical intervention; however, if swelling and pain do not improve after 48 hours of the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method, it may be time to visit an orthopaedic doctor.
- Mobility problems. For limited range of motion in the shoulders, hips, or knees that does not respond to more conservative treatments, the physicians of All-Star Orthopaedics may ultimately recommend joint replacement surgery. Depending on the cause of your condition, this procedure can relieve discomfort and restore the joint to proper working order.
Furthermore, the physicians of All-Star Orthopaedics assure patients they utilize only the most trusted techniques and latest technology in all five of their locations. If patients are suffering from any of the above issues, the surgeons welcome them to schedule an appointment.
