When you have a serious joint injury or condition, it is important to see an orthopedic specialist to determine the best treatment. Whether you suffer from chronic arthritis that has damaged your shoulder, hip or knee joint or you have a sports injury, like runner’s or jumper’s knee, you want to know the best options for treatment. At our centre, we offer second opinions for orthopedic surgery and injuries.

Why should you get a second opinion for orthopedic surgery or injuries? Physicians and orthopedic specialists may approach treatment for joint disorders differently. While some surgeons may jump quickly to complete joint replacement surgery for a knee or hip with arthritis, other physicians may recommend joint preservation techniques and treatments. Hearing from more than one physician can give you different options for treatment, including less invasive methods to achieve the desired results.
