What happens at an orthopedic appointment
No special preparation is needed. The doctor asks what hurts, when it started and whether there was an injury. Tell the doctor exactly how the injury happened, which movements are hard, what you feel when you move and what you have already done to ease the pain. If you have had tests before, bring your scans, reports and discharge summaries.
Then comes the exam. The doctor assesses your posture and gait, checks reflexes and joint mobility, and feels and taps the painful areas. After that, the doctor explains the initial findings. An accurate diagnosis may require an ultrasound, X-ray, CT or MRI, and sometimes a joint aspiration or arthroscopy. Ultrasounds are done at the clinic, and the doctor gives you a referral for an X-ray, CT or MRI.
The doctor works out a treatment plan with you. The clinic makes wide use of nonsurgical methods: the orthopedist combines medication with exercise therapy and physiotherapy and chooses treatment based on your condition, age and usual activity level.
Surgery: arthroscopy and joint replacement
If nonsurgical treatment doesn’t help, the Viva Clinic orthopedic and trauma doctor may suggest surgery. The doctor performs open and arthroscopic surgery and reconstructive surgery on bones and joints, treats musculoskeletal injuries surgically and uses microsurgical techniques. In arthroscopy, the joint is examined and operated on through small incisions.
In joint replacement, a damaged joint is replaced with a prosthesis. Hip and knee replacements are the most common, elbow replacements less so. The doctor decides on surgery after an exam and tests and explains how to prepare and what recovery involves.
When to bring your child to an orthopedic doctor
The Viva Clinic orthopedic doctor sees both children and teens. Babies have increased muscle tone, and their ligaments are still developing. In teenagers, bones grow fast, the body changes under the influence of sex hormones, and muscles are not always strong enough to keep the back straight, which can affect posture.
Bring your child in if they slouch, walk unevenly or complain of pain in the back or legs. Timely diagnosis and treatment in childhood help a child develop normally.

Questions about seeing an orthopedic traumatologist
When should I see an orthopedic and trauma doctor?
After an injury, or if you have sharp or aching pain in your muscles and joints, muscle weakness, back or neck pain, stiffness or posture problems. See the doctor too if a joint becomes swollen, red or warm, crunches when you move or changes shape. For a serious injury, for example if a limb is visibly deformed or there is heavy bleeding, call an ambulance on 103 right away.
What should I do right after an injury?
For a serious injury, call an ambulance, for example if a limb is visibly deformed, there is heavy bleeding or the person has lost consciousness. Otherwise, call us or message us on Viber, and the administrator will find you the nearest available time.
Can I put off seeing a trauma doctor after an injury?
No, it is better not to wait: pain and discomfort usually get worse, and the risk of complications grows.

If there are clear signs of a fracture, go to a trauma unit (travmpunkt), where they will take an X-ray straight away, or call 103. Otherwise, book the nearest available time with a Viva Clinic orthopedic and trauma doctor.

Ligament sprain: what to do and when to see a trauma doctor
In a sprain, some of the fibers in a ligament tear, so the joint hurts and swells, a bruise appears and moving it is painful. For the first 48 hours, rest the joint, apply cold through a cloth, wrap it in a moderately firm bandage and keep your leg raised. If you cannot stand on your leg or the joint looks deformed, go to a trauma unit (travmpunkt), where they will take an X-ray straight away. If the pain does not ease within a few days, see a trauma doctor to rule out a fracture or a torn ligament.
Traumatologist or orthopedist: who treats what and who to see
A traumatologist treats recent injuries: bruises, sprains, dislocations and fractures. An orthopedist deals with conditions and deformities of the bones, joints, spine and feet that develop gradually. In Ukraine this is a single medical specialty, so at Viva Clinic in Slavuta an orthopedic and trauma doctor sees you for both kinds of problems.
