What Is the Difference Between Orthopaedics and Traumatology?

Orthopaedics covers conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, while traumatology focuses particularly on injuries caused by physical trauma. Both specialties may be involved in the treatment of fractures, tendon injuries, joint problems, and other conditions that affect movement and function.

For example, a patient with long-term knee arthritis may require orthopaedic assessment, while a patient with a hip fracture following a fall may require traumatology and orthopaedic surgical care.

At Turkish Hospital, these areas are managed within a coordinated Orthopaedics and Traumatology service.

When Should You See an Orthopaedic or Traumatology Specialist?

An orthopaedic assessment may be appropriate when pain, stiffness, weakness, swelling, restricted movement, or an injury is interfering with normal activities.

Patients may seek assessment after:

• A fall or accident
• A suspected fracture
• A sports-related injury
• Persistent joint pain
• Shoulder stiffness or restricted movement
• Hand, wrist, or elbow symptoms
• Knee pain or mechanical problems
• Foot or ankle pain
• Tendon injuries
• Difficulty walking or using a limb normally

The appropriate specialist and treatment pathway depend on the cause and severity of the problem.

Diagnosis, Treatment and Rehabilitation

Musculoskeletal symptoms can result from injury, inflammation, degeneration, structural changes, tendon problems, or other conditions. A clinical assessment helps identify the affected area and determine which treatment approach may be appropriate.

Our orthopaedic care pathway can include:

• Clinical assessment and diagnosis
• Non-surgical treatment when appropriate
• Injection treatment for selected conditions
• Orthopaedic surgery when clinically indicated
• Emergency surgery within the department’s scope
• Arthroscopic procedures
• Tendon repair
• Fracture surgery
• Rehabilitation and recovery support

Our team works to provide continuity between diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation so that each stage of care reflects the patient’s individual condition.

Orthopaedic Conditions and Treatments

Shoulder Conditions

Shoulder problems can affect lifting, reaching, rotation, sleep, work, exercise, and everyday use of the arm. Turkish Hospital provides assessment and treatment for shoulder conditions ranging from tendon inflammation and impingement to frozen shoulder and injuries requiring emergency surgery.

• Rotator cuff tendinitis
• Impingement syndrome
• Stiff shoulder
• Frozen shoulder

Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the patient’s symptoms. An orthopaedic specialist will determine whether conservative management, injection treatment, manipulation, or surgery is appropriate.

Hand and Elbow Conditions

Hand, wrist, and elbow problems may involve bones, joints, tendons, nerves, or surrounding soft tissues. Symptoms can include discomfort, restricted movement, weakness, numbness, swelling, or difficulty performing everyday tasks.

Our hand and elbow services include:

Hip Fracture Care

A hip fracture is a significant musculoskeletal injury that requires medical assessment and may require surgical treatment. Turkish Hospital’s orthopaedic and traumatology service includes hip fracture surgery within its current treatment scope.

Hip service:

Knee Conditions and Arthroscopic Surgery

Knee conditions may result from injury, meniscal damage, arthritis, or degeneration of the joint. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may range from non-surgical management to arthroscopic surgery or other surgical care when appropriate.

Our knee services include:

• Arthroscopic surgery for meniscal tears
• Arthroscopic removal of loose bodies
• Arthroscopic joint washout

What is knee arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a surgical technique that allows the surgeon to examine and treat selected problems inside the knee joint using a small camera and specialized instruments.

Within Turkish Hospital’s current orthopaedic scope, arthroscopy may be used for conditions including meniscal tears and for procedures such as loose-body removal, washout, and debridement.

Whether arthroscopy is suitable depends on the patient’s diagnosis and clinical findings.

Foot and Ankle Conditions

Foot and ankle conditions can affect walking, standing, exercise, balance, footwear comfort, and everyday mobility. Problems may involve the joints, bones, tendons, toes, or surrounding soft tissues.

Our foot and ankle services include:

Some foot and ankle conditions may be managed without surgery, while others may require a surgical procedure. The recommended approach depends on the diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and clinical assessment.
