Orthopaedics

What Is an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

An orthopaedic surgeon is a doctor who has completed additional education and training in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. At Cleveland Clinic Canada, our orthopaedic surgeons specialize in knees, shoulders and ankles.

Conditions We Treat

• Conditions affecting your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves
• Restricted range-of-motion, movement or mobility
• Joint pain and instability
• Early-to-late osteoarthritis
• Soft tissue biomechanics, injury healing, and repair
• Treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical, as they relate to sports-specific injuries and competition
• Knowledge of athletic equipment and orthotic devices (braces, foot orthoses, etc.) and their use in prevention and management of athletic injuries
• Specific expertise in arthroscopic surgery of almost any joint, along with reconstructive surgical procedures…for example ACL in the knee, hip labrum tears, elbow loose bodies, bone spurs in the ankle, and shoulder instability

An orthopaedic specialist will provide you with a clear understanding of the extent of your condition and the most beneficial treatment options available. If necessary, you can take advantage of our state-of-the-art diagnostics and an array of innovative treatments on-site.

Am I Covered?

Consultations with our physicians are covered by OHIP. Additional services and bracing may be partially or fully covered by extended health insurance plans. The coverage for each carrier is different; please check your plan to see what coverage is available for this type of service.
