How is an Orthopedic Surgeon different from a Rheumatologist or a Physiatrist?

Orthopedic Surgeons, like Dr. Mehdian, are surgical specialists focusing on musculoskeletal problems using both surgical and non-surgical methods. Rheumatologists primarily manage non-surgical inflammatory and autoimmune conditions affecting joints, muscles, and bones (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis). Physiatrists (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Specialists) optimize function and quality of life through non-surgical means and rehabilitation planning.

What is joint replacement surgery, and when might Dr. Mehdian recommend it?

Joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) replaces damaged joint parts with artificial components. Dr. Mehdian might recommend it for severe joint pain and loss of function due to advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or significant injury, when non-surgical treatments are inadequate.

Do I typically need a referral to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Mehdian?

In ON, a referral from a family doctor or another specialist is generally required for consultations and surgical treatments covered by OHIP. This ensures appropriateness and provides Dr. Mehdian with necessary medical information. Speak with your primary care physician if you need an orthopedic surgical assessment.

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

Treatment depends on fracture type and severity. Non-surgical treatment may involve realignment and immobilization with a cast or brace. Surgical treatment (internal or external fixation) might be necessary for complex fractures or those unlikely to heal well with casting alone.

What can I expect at my first orthopedic consultation with Dr. Mehdian at the clinic?

The first visit involves a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and review of prior treatments and imaging. Dr. Mehdian will discuss diagnostic impressions, recommend further investigations if needed, and outline treatment options.

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

Recovery time varies greatly depending on the surgery type, the joint or bone involved, the patient's age and health, and their adherence to the rehabilitation plan. Dr. Mehdian will discuss the expected timeline during the pre-operative consultation.

Are services provided by an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Mehdian covered by provincial health insurance (e.g., Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP))?

Diagnostic imaging is usually covered. However, some items (e.g., certain braces, custom orthotics) may not be fully covered. Inquire with the clinic about potential out-of-pocket costs.
