Orthopedist

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana personal injury lawyers at Murphy Law Firm understand that after an accident an orthopedist may be needed especially when you suffered injuries to your joints. Below is some information on orthopedists that may be helpful if you suffered a joint injury as a result of an accident.

The word orthopedic, sometimes spelled orthopedic, comes from two Greek words:

  • ortho meaning straight
  • paedia meaning children

Once devoted to the care of children with spine and limb deformities, orthopedics now cares for patients of all ages.

An orthopedist is a physician who has specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves and allows you to move, work and be active.

Orthopedic patients have benefitted from technological advances such as joint replacement and the arthroscopy that allows the orthopedist to look inside a joint. But your visit will start with a personal interview and physical examination. This may be followed by diagnostic tests such as blood tests, X-rays, CT scans, EMG's and MRI's.

Your treatment may involve medical counseling, medications, casts, splints, and therapies such as exercise, or surgery. Your orthopaedist will discuss the treatment options with you and help you select the best treatment plan to enable you to live an active and functional life.
