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

In Alberta, a referral from a family doctor (GP) or another specialist (e.g., sports medicine physician, rheumatologist) is generally required to see an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Almansoori for consultations and surgical treatments covered by provincial health plans like the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP). This referral ensures the consultation is appropriate and that Dr. Almansoori has necessary medical information. Speak with your primary care physician or referring doctor if you need an orthopedic surgical assessment.

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

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), its onset, aggravating and relieving factors, and its impact on daily life. Dr. Almansoori will review previous treatments and perform a thorough physical examination, assessing range of motion, strength, stability, and tenderness. Any prior imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scans) will be reviewed. Based on this, Dr. Almansoori will discuss diagnostic impressions, may recommend further investigations, and outline potential treatment options (non-surgical and surgical), collaborating with you to establish goals.

Dr. Almansoori treats a wide range of musculoskeletal problems, aiming to restore function and reduce pain. Examples include fractures, osteoarthritis (hip, knee, shoulder), sports injuries (ACL tears, rotator cuff tears, meniscus tears), carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendonitis or bursitis.

Are services provided by an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Almansoori covered by provincial health insurance (e.g., Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP))?

Inquire with the clinic about potential out-of-pocket costs and check your private insurance for coverage of adjunctive therapies or devices.

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

Recovery time varies greatly depending on the surgery type (e.g., arthroscopy vs. joint replacement), the joint or bone involved, your age and health, and adherence to the post-operative rehabilitation plan.

Dr. Almansoori will discuss the expected recovery timeline during the pre-operative consultation.

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

Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. Almansoori are experts in treating fractures. Treatment depends on the fracture type and severity, location, and your overall health.

Dr. Almansoori will determine the most appropriate treatment.

Joint replacement surgery (arthroplasty) involves removing damaged or arthritic parts of a joint and replacing them with artificial components.
