How are orthopedic conditions and injuries diagnosed at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care?
The first step to diagnosing your condition or injury is with a physical exam, followed by imaging tests, such as X-rays or ultrasound, performed in our office, to confirm the diagnosis.
If further evaluation is needed, a CT scan or MRI will be ordered and used to pinpoint the injury or condition and to help us determine the best treatment options.
Baptist Health Orthopedic Care offers high-resolution MRI for the most accurate images of your anatomy and the ability for surgeons to tailor your surgery to your individual needs. We also offer weight-bearing CT scans for foot and ankle conditions or injuries. Using this technology, which stiches two-dimensional views into a three-dimensional digital replica of the foot and ankle, helps us see from 360 degrees how your injury or condition responds when you stand or bear weight.
How are orthopedic conditions or injuries treated at Baptist Health Orthopedic Care?
While orthopedics centers around surgery, our team focuses on non-surgical, conservative treatment options first, if appropriate for you. These include the use of immobilization devices – such as braces or splints, physical therapy, or injections of medication, platelet-rich plasma or stem cells into the affected area.
If your condition or injury requires surgery, our Board-certified and fellowship-trained surgeons use the latest tools and minimally invasive approaches available to ensure the best surgical outcome for you. Additionally, our physical therapists work with you following your surgery to help restore mobility and function, often just hours after surgery.
