Your Orthopaedic Questions, Answered

If knee pain is persistent, keeps returning, affects your walking or daily activities, or is associated with swelling, stiffness or instability, an orthopaedic consultation can help identify the underlying cause.

Dr. Hardev Singh provides care for a range of orthopaedic conditions, including joint problems, sports and ligament injuries, fractures, knee and hip conditions, and other musculoskeletal problems.

Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which a damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint. It may be considered when severe joint damage causes persistent pain and significantly affects mobility or quality of life.

Knee replacement is not recommended for every patient with knee pain. The decision depends on factors such as the severity of joint damage, symptoms, mobility, response to other treatments and overall health. A proper orthopaedic evaluation is important.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which a small camera is used to view the inside of a joint. It may be used for diagnosing or treating certain joint conditions, including some sports and ligament injuries.

Many sports injuries can be managed without surgery depending on the type and severity of the injury. Treatment may include rest, rehabilitation, medication or physiotherapy. Some significant ligament or structural injuries may require surgical evaluation.

Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure, the patient’s overall health and the individual condition. During consultation, Dr. Hardev Singh can explain the expected recovery process for your specific treatment.

Bring previous medical records, X-rays, MRI or CT scans, laboratory reports and a list of current medications if available. It is also helpful to note when your symptoms started and what activities make them better or worse.

Not always. The need for an X-ray, MRI or other investigation depends on your symptoms and clinical examination. It is best to discuss this during your consultation rather than getting unnecessary tests beforehand.
