At Scarborough Health Network, the focus is on partnering with you to restore function, alleviate pain, and help you return to your desired activities. Dr. Khan frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• Dr. Khan often consults with patients whose a work-related injury to their bones or joints significantly limits their enjoyment of opening jars or turning doorknobs without difficulty (for hand issues) or impacts their well-being. The clear goal of care is to achieve a successful arthroscopic repair of a torn ligament or cartilage and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• Managing their child limping or having trouble with their walking effectively and proactively is a top priority for Dr. Khan and the medical team. The clear aim is always reduced or eliminated numbness and tingling from nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel), which directly helps patients get back to enjoying lifting groceries, a child, or other everyday objects and their daily routines without severe physical hindrance.
• Dr. Khan understands that dealing with a torn ACL or meniscus in their knee from a sports injury can be challenging. That's why his treatment plans are geared towards achieving successful healing of their broken bone (fracture), helping patients comfortably get back to confidently navigating uneven surfaces or terrain and feeling their best.

Your personalized treatment plan, whether surgical or non-surgical, developed in consultation with Dr. Khan, will be carefully designed to help you achieve your specific musculoskeletal goals. Dr. Khan is committed to providing expert orthopedic care to help you regain mobility and improve your quality of life.

Dr. Khan's practice, Scarborough Health Network, is situated in the Corktown, Stinson neighborhood of Hamilton. The clinic is conveniently located near FirstOntario Centre (Bay St Entrance) and is accessible via Hamilton Street Railway (HSR). Patient parking, including accessible spots, is typically available.

What can I expect at my first orthopedic consultation with Dr. Khan at Scarborough Health Network?

The first visit will typically involve a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment. This includes a detailed discussion of the patient's 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. Khan 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. Khan will discuss their diagnostic impressions, may recommend further investigations if needed, and will outline potential treatment options, both non-surgical and surgical, working with the patient to establish goals.

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

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. Khan will discuss the expected recovery timeline for a specific procedure during the pre-operative consultation.

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

Most physician consultations, medically necessary assessments, and approved surgical procedures by a registered Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Khan are typically covered by provincial health plans such as Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON, 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 Scarborough Health Network about any potential out-of-pocket costs and to check with their private insurance, if any, regarding coverage for adjunctive therapies or devices.

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

Joint replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, is a procedure where damaged or arthritic parts of a joint (like the hip, knee, or shoulder) are removed and replaced with artificial components (prostheses) made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Dr. Khan might recommend joint replacement if a patient has severe joint pain and loss of function, typically due to advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or a significant injury, and non-surgical treatments (like medication, injections, physiotherapy) are no longer providing adequate relief. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

What does an Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Khan do?

An Orthopedic Surgeon like Dr. Khan 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. Khan treat broken bones (fractures)?

Orthopedic Surgeons like Dr. Khan 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. Khan will determine the most appropriate treatment to ensure the bone heals correctly and function is restored.
