Orthopedic Surgery — Frequently Asked Questions
Orthopedic surgery can be used for many types of injuries or joint problems. That might mean repairing a fracture, replacing a damaged joint, fixing a torn ligament, or addressing certain forms of arthritis. In some cases, it’s done for muscle or tendon injuries that haven’t responded to other care.
No. Many improve without an operation. Non-surgical care — like therapy, braces, or injections — is often tried first. Surgery becomes an option when those treatments don’t give enough relief or function.
The procedure depends on the diagnosis. Joint replacement is one of them. So are ACL repairs, arthroscopy to view and treat damage inside a joint, rotator cuff repairs, and surgeries to set or stabilize broken bones.
It’s different for every patient. A smaller procedure may mean weeks of recovery. More complex surgeries can take months. Most people will need some form of therapy to rebuild strength and restore movement.
Often, yes — but the details matter. Coverage usually requires that the surgery is medically necessary, and most insurers will want approval and documentation before it’s scheduled.
