• A key objective when treating a recent ankle sprain that isn't getting better at Dr. Bamdadian's welcoming clinic is achieving being able to perform daily self-care tasks independently again. This directly supports a comfortable, confident, and lasting return to important activities like reaching overhead or behind their back comfortably (for shoulder issues).
• Dr. Bamdadian often consults with patients whose having a 'frozen shoulder' that's very stiff and painful significantly limits their enjoyment of getting in and out of a car or chair without difficulty or impacts their well-being. The clear goal of care is to achieve their child's musculoskeletal condition being successfully managed or corrected and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• If a torn ACL or meniscus in their knee from a sports injury is proving to be a significant barrier to your daily comfort or confidence, Dr. Bamdadian develops targeted strategies aimed squarely at feeling more confident in their physical abilities.

What can I expect at my first orthopedic consultation with Dr. Bamdadian at Hôpital Pierre Boucher?

The first visit will typically 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. Bamdadian will review any previous treatments and will perform a thorough physical examination of the affected area(s), assessing range of motion, strength, stability, and tenderness. Any prior imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) will be reviewed. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Bamdadian will discuss his diagnostic impressions, may recommend further investigations if needed, and will outline potential treatment options, both non-surgical and surgical, working with you to establish goals.

What does an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Bamdadian do?

An Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Bamdadian is a medical doctor (physician) who specializes in diagnosing, treating, preventing, and rehabilitating injuries and diseases of the body's musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. They manage a wide range of conditions such as fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, spinal disorders, and congenital deformities. While they are surgeons, Orthopedic Surgeons use both surgical methods (like joint replacements, fracture repair, arthroscopy) and non-surgical methods (like medication, injections, bracing, or recommending physiotherapy) to treat patients. Their goal is to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve quality of life.

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

Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. Bamdadian are experts in treating all types of bone fractures. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the fracture, its location, and the patient's overall health. Non-surgical treatment may involve realigning the bone (reduction) and then immobilizing it with a cast, splint, or brace to allow it to heal. Surgical treatment might be necessary for more complex fractures, open fractures (where the bone breaks the skin), or fractures that are unlikely to heal well with casting alone. Surgical options include internal fixation (using plates, screws, rods, or pins to hold the bone pieces together) or external fixation (using a frame outside the body connected to pins in the bone). Dr. Bamdadian will determine the most appropriate treatment to ensure the bone heals correctly and function is restored.

Are services provided by an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Bamdadian covered by provincial health insurance (e.g., Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ))?

Most physician consultations, medically necessary assessments, and approved surgical procedures by a registered Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Bamdadian are typically covered by provincial health plans such as Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC, provided the patient has a valid health card and appropriate referral. Diagnostic imaging ordered is also usually covered. However, some specific items like certain braces, custom orthotics, or advanced biologic injections may not be fully covered or may have associated fees. It's always best for patients to inquire with Hôpital Pierre Boucher about any potential out-of-pocket costs and to check with their private insurance, if any, regarding coverage for adjunctive therapies or devices.

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

Recovery time after orthopedic surgery varies greatly depending on the type of surgery performed (e.g., arthroscopy vs. joint replacement vs. fracture fixation), the specific joint or bone involved, the patient's age and overall health, and their 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 and return to all activities. Dr. Bamdadian will discuss the expected recovery timeline for a specific procedure during the pre-operative consultation.
