ORTHOPAEDICS
ORTHOPAEDIC IS
CONCERN WITH:
• BONES
• JOINTS
• MUSCLES
• TENDONS
• NERVES
• VASCULARS
CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT THE
MUSCULOSCLETAL SYSTEM :
• CONGENITAL AND DEVELOPMENT ABNORMALITY
• Trauma/INJURY AND MECHANICAL DERANGEMENT
• TUMOURS AND LESIONS THAT MIMIC THEM
• INFECTION AND INFLAMMATION
• Degenerative./ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATIC DISORDERS
• METABOLIC DYSFUNCTION AND DEGENERATION
• HEMATHOLOGY
• MISCELANIUOS
– SENSORY DISTURBANCE AND MUSCLE WEAKNESS
DIAGNOSIS IN
ORTHOPAEDICS
1. HISTORY
2. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
1. DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING
2. BLOOD TESTS
3. SYNOVIAL FLUID ANALYSIS
4. BONE BIOPSY
5. ARTHROSCOPY
6. ELECTRODIAGNOSIS

• CONCOMITANT SYMPTOMS
SYMPTOMS
OF MUSCULOSCLETAL SYSTEM
• LOOK WRONG:
– SWELLING
– DEFORMITY
• FEEL WRONG:
– PAIN
– CHANGE IN SENSIBILITY
• MOVE WRONG:
– STIFFNESS
– WEAKNESS
– INSTABILITY
• LOSS OF FUNCTION
PAIN
• PAIN FROM DAMMAGED TISSUE
• REFFERT PAIN
• AUTONOMIC PAIN
PAIN
• GRADE I MILD :PAIN THAT CAN EASILIY BE
IGNORE
• GRADE II MODERATE : PAIN THAT CANNOT BE
IGNORED, INTERFERS WITH FUNCTION
AND NEEDS TREATMENT FROM TIME TO
TIME
• GRADE III SEVERE : PAIN THAT IS PRESENT
MOST OF THE TIME, DEMANDING
CONSTANT ATTENTION
• GRADE IV TOTALLY INCAPACITATING PAIN
