Traumatology is the medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. The areas of study include bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
You should see a traumatologist if you experience persistent pain in your bones, joints or muscles, have suffered a traumatic injury, or have difficulty moving a limb. It is also important to receive specialised care after orthopaedic surgery. Click here to request an appointment with our specialists.
Traumatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, such as fractures, dislocations, and sports injuries. In contrast, rheumatology deals with autoimmune diseases and systemic disorders that affect the joints, muscles, and soft tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. While traumatologists focus on acute injuries, rheumatologists treat chronic conditions.
If you are facing a trauma emergency, such as a fracture or serious injury, you should seek immediate medical attention. Do not attempt to treat the injury yourself, as you could make it worse.

Traumatologists perform a variety of tests to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries, such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, blood tests, and physical examinations. These tests help determine the severity of an injury and plan the appropriate treatment.
Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged hip joint with an artificial prosthesis. This is done through surgery in which the damaged bone and cartilage are removed and the prosthesis is placed in their place. The prosthesis is designed to restore function and reduce pain in the hip.
Limitations with a hip prosthesis can vary from person to person, but some common ones include restrictions on extreme hip flexion, sudden movements, and high-impact activities such as running. It is important to follow your orthopaedic surgeon's recommendations to avoid complications and maximise functionality.
Postoperative pain after knee replacement varies from person to person, but it is effectively managed with painkillers and physiotherapy. The degree of pain depends on several factors, such as the surgical technique, the previous condition of the knee, and each patient's ability to tolerate pain.
