An Orthopaedic Surgeon is specialised in the diagnosis, treatment and care of conditions of the human musculoskeletal system.
Chiefly, they deal with complaints that have affected muscles, bones, joints and nerves.Such conditions include osteoarthritis, tumours and fractures.This is one of the newest specialities in surgery, and is one that is key to the care of patients who have suffered unfortunate traumas. Orthopaedic surgeons may work in hospitals or trauma clinics, but the treatment is the same.
An orthopaedic surgeon will oftentimes go on to specialise in one specific area in order to refine their skills. This type of surgery has become more prevalent as better surgical techniques have developed, which leads to improved treatment and recovery. Surgeons of this speciality often work with a variety of professionals, such as sport specialists and family doctors.
Rheumatologists treat arthritis, autoimmune diseases, pain disorders affecting joints, and osteoporosis.There are more than 200 types of these diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, lupus, back pain, osteoporosis, and tendinitis.Because these diseases are often complex, they benefit from the care of an expert.Many of these diseases are now known to be disorders of the immune system, and rheumatology is increasingly related to the study of immunology.Frequently they treat Osteoarthritis (OA) also known as degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis is a group of mechanical abnormalities involving degradation of joints, including bone and cartilage.
The rheumatologist educates and interacts with the patient and family, gives health information and partners with other health care providers.He decides the necessity for more assessment and treatment, such as referrals to other health care providers, orthopedic aids (splint, brace, cane, etc.), corrective surgery or whether a hospital treatment is necessary.The rheumatologist assesses signs (from a physical exam) and symptoms (what you see and how you feel), including systemic involvement by a rheumatic disease.
As a group, rheumatologists also support legislation that promote patient rights and patient-centered care.
