Frequently asked questions

What does an orthopaedic specialist treat?

Orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and treat conditions of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and spine, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries and back pain, with both non-surgical and surgical options.

When should I see an orthopaedic doctor?

Consider an orthopaedic consultation for a suspected fracture, persistent joint or back pain, a sports injury, or joint stiffness and swelling that affects daily movement.

Do I need surgery for joint or back pain?

Not always. Many orthopaedic conditions are managed with medication, physiotherapy, injections or bracing; surgery is considered when non-surgical treatment does not relieve symptoms.

Do I need a referral to see a KPJ orthopaedic surgeon?

You can usually book a private orthopaedic consultation at KPJ without a referral, though bringing prior X-rays or scans helps speed up assessment.
