What can I expect at my first orthopedic consultation with Dr. McGoey at Hospital For Sick Children?

Your first visit will involve a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment. This includes a detailed discussion of your medical history, the specific problem (e.g., pain, injury, loss of function), how it started, what makes it better or worse, and its impact on daily activities and quality of life. Dr. McGoey will review any previous treatments and perform a thorough physical examination of the affected area(s), assessing range of motion, strength, stability, and tenderness.

How long is the recovery time after orthopedic surgery with Dr. McGoey?

Recovery time varies greatly depending on the type of surgery, the specific joint or bone involved, your age and overall health, and your adherence to the post-operative rehabilitation plan. Some minor procedures may have a recovery of a few weeks, while major surgeries like total joint replacements can take several months for full recovery.

How does Dr. McGoey treat broken bones (fractures)?

Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. McGoey are experts in treating all types of bone fractures. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture, its location, and your overall health. Non-surgical treatment may involve realigning the bone (reduction) and immobilizing it with a cast, splint, or brace. Surgical treatment might be necessary for more complex fractures, open fractures, or fractures unlikely to heal well with casting alone. Surgical options include internal fixation (using plates, screws, rods, or pins) or external fixation (using a frame outside the body). Dr. McGoey will determine the most appropriate treatment.
