I recently suffered a serious shoulder injury. I decided for surgery in Zagreb at the Akromion clinic, based on the recommendation that it is the best in this part of Europe. First of all, I would like to thank Professor Čiček for his great effort and the entire staff from the reception staff, physiotherapists, nurses and technicians. They made it easier for me to get through the whole period while I was in the hospital.

Hello!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of the Akromion clinic for their friendliness and professionalism, especially Dr. Medančić, who performed the shoulder surgery. I must mention that after the operation I feel more than great and that the recovery process is going faster than I thought.
Praise....

Why is an orthopedic examination performed?

An orthopaedic examination is performed to diagnose and evaluate musculoskeletal conditions or injuries, such as fractures, joint pain, sprains, strains, or movement limitations. It helps the healthcare provider determine the underlying cause of symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

What does an orthopedic examination involve?

An orthopaedic examination typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical assessment, range of motion testing, palpation, and specific orthopaedic tests. The healthcare provider may also request imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI, if needed.

How long does an orthopedic examination take?

The duration of an orthopaedic examination can vary depending on the complexity of the condition being evaluated. It may range from a few minutes for a straightforward assessment to a more comprehensive examination that can take 20-30 minutes or longer.

Does an orthopedic examination hurt?

An orthopedic examination may involve some discomfort, especially if the affected area is tender or painful. However, the healthcare provider will try to minimize any unnecessary pain or discomfort during the examination.

Do I need to prepare for an orthopedic examination?

It is helpful to gather relevant medical records, previous imaging results, and a list of medications or allergies before the examination. Wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being examined is also recommended.

Will I need any additional tests after the orthopedic examination?

Depending on the findings of the orthopedic examination, the healthcare provider may recommend additional tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or blood tests to further evaluate the condition and confirm the diagnosis.

This allows you to better understand your condition, treatment options, and any concerns you may have. Effective communication with your healthcare provider is essential for your overall care and well-being.

What should I expect during an orthopedic examination if I have a specific concern, such as knee pain or shoulder injury?

During an orthopaedic examination for a specific concern like knee pain or shoulder injury, the healthcare provider will focus on assessing the affected area in more detail. They may perform specialized tests and manoeuvres to evaluate the specific joint or area of concern. They will ask you about the nature of your pain, any triggering events or activities, and the duration and intensity of your symptoms. They may also inquire about any previous treatments or interventions you have tried. Based on the examination findings and your medical history, the healthcare provider will provide a more targeted assessment and discuss appropriate treatment options for your specific condition.
