Frequently Asked Questions
What does an orthopaedic surgeon treat?
Orthopaedic surgeons treat conditions affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This includes fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, back pain, joint replacements, and congenital musculoskeletal conditions.
Do I need a referral to see an orthopaedic surgeon?
It depends on your insurance plan. PPO and POS plans typically allow direct access to specialists without a referral. HMO plans usually require a referral from your primary care physician. Check with your insurance provider to confirm.
What should I bring to my first orthopaedic appointment?
Bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of current medications, any relevant imaging (X-rays, MRI reports), and a written summary of your symptoms including when they started and what makes them better or worse.
How long does it take to get an appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon?
Wait times vary by location and urgency. Routine appointments may take 1-4 weeks. Urgent referrals for fractures or acute injuries are often seen within days. Calling the office directly is the fastest way to check availability.
Does orthopaedic treatment always require surgery?
No. Many orthopaedic conditions are treated conservatively with physical therapy, medication, injections, bracing, or activity modification. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief after 3-6 months.
