specialist orthopaedic services
The Metica Medical and Physiotherapy Centre guarantees that patients will be treated by the most suitable specialist, as the orthopaedic surgeons on the team possess a high level of specialisation in relation to different anatomical structures.
Metica thus offers a personalised service, whilst also providing the opportunity to conveniently undergo a range of diagnostic tests to confirm a diagnosis or to determine the best course of treatment.
The team of orthopaedic surgeons works closely with:
-
ultrasound technicians for the diagnostic process,
-
physiatrists and physiotherapists for treatment and rehabilitation.
Finally, the use of a single digital medical record ensures that patients receive the most efficient service possible.
What happens during an orthopaedic consultation?
The orthopedic visit includes an initial analysis of the patient's current and past medical history, including family history and any medications currently being taken.
The orthopedist then analyzes the structure and functions of the musculoskeletal system and evaluates other important aspects, including posture, muscle strength, the ability to move the joint through all its degrees of motion, any swelling, and reflexes.
How should I prepare for the appointment?
There are no specific preparation guidelines.
It is important to be prepared to give a detailed account of your medical history, and to remember to bring the following with you:
-
any other tests relating to the condition (e.g. X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound scans);
-
any recent blood tests, even if carried out for other reasons;
-
the names of any medicines taken on a daily basis.
