Pre-operative Orthopaedic Assessment

Pre-operative Orthopaedic Assessment is a detailed and systematic evaluation performed before any orthopaedic surgery to ensure patient safety, accurate surgical planning, and optimal post-operative outcomes. This assessment helps in understanding the patient’s overall health status, severity of the orthopaedic condition, and any associated medical risks. Proper pre-operative evaluation reduces surgical complications, improves recovery, and allows patients to undergo surgery with confidence.

Assessment Components
  • Detailed medical history and physical examination
  • Evaluation of joint movement, deformity, and functional limitation
  • Review of X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and other imaging
  • Blood tests and medical fitness assessment
  • Evaluation of existing medical conditions (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
  • Pre-surgical planning and implant selection (if required)
  • Patient counseling regarding procedure, recovery, and rehabilitation
