Orthopaedic Consultation

A consultation with an orthopaedic and traumatology specialist to assess joint, bone, muscle or sports injuries and agree a plan of investigation and treatment. ST Medical's orthopaedic team ranges from senior consultants to a professor of medical science, and operates alongside on-site MRI, CT and ultrasound as well as a surgical and rehabilitation department, so diagnosis and treatment can be coordinated in one place.

An orthopaedic consultation at ST Medical Clinic is an appointment with a specialist in orthopaedics and traumatology to evaluate problems affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments — from sports injuries and degenerative joint conditions to post-traumatic complaints. The doctor takes a history, examines the affected area and reviews any imaging you bring, then explains the likely cause of the problem and the options for managing it, which may range from physiotherapy and injections to imaging or surgery. The clinic's orthopaedic team spans several subspecialties, including shoulder, knee, hip, hand and foot surgery, and ranges from experienced specialists to a professor of medical science, with consultation fees varying by doctor. A particular advantage is that the consultation sits within a comprehensive centre: magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray and ultrasound are available on site, as are a physiotherapy and EMS-training suite and an operating theatre offering procedures such as arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and joint replacement, including robotic CORI knee surgery. This means that if an MRI or CT scan is needed to clarify the diagnosis, or if rehabilitation or surgery is recommended, the next steps can be arranged within the same clinic. The consultation is a suitable starting point for anyone with a new or ongoing musculoskeletal problem who wants a specialist assessment and a clear plan, and for patients travelling from across the German border it offers access to a full orthopaedic pathway in one location.
