Orthopaedic Consultation

Get a physical examination and consultation with our orthopaedic surgeon.

What Is Orthopaedic Consultation?

When you suffer from orthopaedic related pain or injury, it is always recommended for you to get a physical examination and consultation with our orthopaedic surgeon. During consultation, the surgeon would understand more about your problem. He will then perform a clinical examination to assess your condition.

X-ray imaging may be needed after clinical examination to determine the extent of your problem. After a detailed examination, our surgeon will suggest a personalized treatment for your problem. At Ko Specialist Medical Centre, Total Hip and Knee Surgery Centre, we believe in personalized treatment according to each individual patient to better improve our patient’s quality of life and confidence.
