What does a Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon do?

The Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles.

What are the typical symptoms of an joint replacement candidate?

The symptoms include where a person is unable to perform daily routine activities because of pain, experiencing stiffness even when lying down or at rest and there is pain despite having medications.

Which tests/ investigations are generally required by the Orthopaedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon?

The investigations include Arthrography, Blood Tests, Bone Scan, Computed Tomography (CT Scan), Discography, Doppler Ultrasound, Dual-Photon Absorptiometry, and Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry.

Is there a difference between an orthopedic doctor and an orthopedic surgeon?

Not really, in reality the Orthopedists treat a range of conditions such as fractures and dislocations, osteoporosis, back injuries and more. Because surgery is so integral to the role, the terms "orthopedist" and "orthopedic surgeon" are often used interchangeably.

How long will the new joint last or will I have to do a second replacement?

For 80–90% of people who have total knee replacement, the new joint usually last for about 20 years or more.
