- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Lambie and her team are orthopedic surgeons, meaning they are medical doctors who specialize in the entire musculoskeletal systembones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. They diagnose and treat conditions affecting this system, offering both surgical and non-surgical options to relieve pain and restore function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Lambie's practice focuses on finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it's the most effective way to restore quality of life.
- What can be done for the numbness and tingling in my hand?
- Numbness and tingling in your hand are classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Initial treatment often involves a wrist brace or steroid injection. If symptoms don't improve, Dr. Lambie can perform a simple outpatient surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve and provide lasting relief.
- What is the recovery like after a knee or hip replacement?
- Recovery after a knee or hip replacement is a process, starting with a hospital stay and followed by extensive physical therapy. Modern techniques often allow patients to walk the same day as surgery. The goal is to regain strength and motion, and most patients experience significant pain relief and return to daily activities within a few months.
- What can be done for my painful knee or hip arthritis?
- We understand the pain you're experiencing. Treatment for arthritis is a stepwise approach, often starting with conservative measures like medication, physical therapy, and injections. If pain persists and limits daily activities, Dr. Lambie may discuss joint replacement surgery as a highly effective option.
- How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
- A hip fracture in an older adult is a serious injury that almost always requires surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern, but the primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again as safely and quickly as possible, often with the help of physical therapists.
- What is a rotator cuff tear?
- A rotator cuff tear is a problem with the group of four tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint. Tears can result from an injury or gradual wear and tear, causing pain and weakness. Many tears can be treated with physical therapy and injections, but for larger tears, Dr. Lambie can perform arthroscopic surgery to repair the tendon.
- What is joint replacement surgery?
