Specialist Orthopedic Examination in Belgrade
You schedule an orthopedic examination when you are troubled by pain, swelling or limited mobility of the bones, joints, spine or muscles and you want a clear diagnosis and treatment plan from a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology. At Dynamic Fizio in Dorcol (Dunavska 62), a specialist orthopedic examination includes a detailed conversation, a clinical examination and the interpretation of findings, with a recommendation for concrete next steps. Unlike a physiatrist, an orthopedist is a surgeon, so in addition to conservative treatment they can also assess the need for surgical treatment.
What an orthopedist does
An orthopedist is a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology who deals with diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system: the bones, joints, spine, muscles, tendons and ligaments. They make the diagnosis, monitor the course of the condition and choose between a conservative and a surgical approach to treatment.
The most common reasons for an orthopedic examination are osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, meniscus and ligament injuries, fractures, sciatica and lower back pain, foot deformities, tendon inflammation and conditions after sports injuries. When needed, the orthopedist requests additional diagnostics, such as an X-ray, ultrasound or MRI, and based on the findings proposes therapy, an orthosis, an injection or a surgical solution.
When to book an orthopedic examination
An orthopedic examination is recommended when pain in a joint or the spine lasts longer than a few weeks, when swelling, stiffness or creaking appears, as well as after falls and sports injuries when you suspect a fracture or a strain. You also turn to an orthopedist when conservative therapy does not produce results and it is necessary to assess whether a surgical procedure is indicated.
A specialist orthopedic examination is useful both before and after surgery, in order to plan the procedure and monitor recovery. If you are not sure whether you need an orthopedist or a physiatrist, feel free to call the clinic, where we will direct you to the right type of examination.
What an orthopedic examination looks like
The examination begins with a conversation about your symptoms, how long they have lasted, previous injuries and treatments. This is followed by a clinical examination in which the orthopedist assesses the mobility, stability and sensitivity of the joint or spine, along with specific tests for the suspected area. If you have brought earlier findings and images, the doctor interprets them together with the examination findings.
At the end you receive a clear diagnosis and a proposal for further steps, whether it concerns exercises and physical therapy, medication, an orthosis, an injection or surgical treatment.
