Orthopaedic Surgery in Ipoh, Perak: Restoring Your Musculoskeletal Health

This is an area of surgery concerned with injuries and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves).

Our orthopaedic consultants are specialists in the treatment of injury such as bone fracture, deformity of the spine or limb, or long term degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.

We treat patients of all ages:

• Infants or children with defects such as club foot and scoliosis
• Young people (youths) who require joint preserving surgery
• Older patients who require joint replacement from degenerative joint issues

Our orthopaedic specialists lead a multi-disciplinary team including nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists to help you on your path to recovery.

Many of our orthopaedic specialists are trained in minimally invasive surgery. Such procedures usually lead to fewer side effects and shorter recovery time.

What Is an Orthopaedist and Orthopaedic Surgery?

Orthopaedic surgery is a specialty that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, i.e. the system responsible for the body's movements. An orthopaedist or orthopaedic surgeon is a specialised physician who treats injuries and disorders of bones, joints, soft tissues, and the spinal column using state-of-the-art techniques that include simple minimally invasive procedures, and sophisticated reconstructive surgeries.

From children with congenital bone problems to adults with sport injuries and aged patients with wear and tear (degenerative) joint disease, Orthopaedists chart a course for all ages and collaborate with Physiotherapists, rehabilitation squads, and other professionals for complete recoupment.
