Understanding Orthopedics and Rheumatology:
- Orthopedics: Orthopedics is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions. This shall include injuries, fractures, degenerative diseases, and congenital abnormalities affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
- Rheumatology: Rheumatology is the subspecialty of internal medicine. It deals with the diagnosis and management of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. That has affected the joints, connective tissues, and soft tissues of the body, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus, gout, and systemic sclerosis.
Lifecode’s Orthopedic & Rheumatology Services:
- Diagnostic Evaluation: The healthcare is known to offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations. It includes a medical history review, physical examination, imaging studies (X-rays, MRI, CT scans), laboratory tests, and specialized diagnostic procedures (e.g., arthroscopy, joint aspiration) to accurately diagnose orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions.
- Treatment Options: It provides a wide range of treatment options for orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions, including conservative therapies (e.g., medication management, physical therapy, bracing, injections). Goes along as minimally invasive procedures (e.g., arthroscopy, joint injections), and surgical interventions (e.g., joint replacement, ligament repair, spinal surgery).
- Joint Replacement Surgery: Advanced joint replacement surgery like total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and total shoulder replacement, for individuals with severe joint damage or arthritis. Our orthopedic surgeons utilize state-of-the-art techniques and implants to restore function and relieve pain, enabling patients to regain mobility and quality of life.
- Rheumatologic Care: The rheumatologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of rheumatologic conditions, providing personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs and goals. Treatment options might include disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biological therapies, corticosteroids, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

What is orthopedics and rheumatology, and what conditions do they cover?
Orthopedics focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, while rheumatology specializes in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissues.
How do genetics influence orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions?
Genetics can play a role in orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions by contributing to factors such as bone structure, joint health, cartilage integrity, immune system function, and susceptibility to autoimmune or inflammatory diseases.
What is genetic testing for orthopedics & rheumatology, and how does it work?
Genetic testing for orthopedics & rheumatology involves analyzing an individual’s DNA to identify specific genetic variations associated with musculoskeletal disorders, autoimmune conditions, or predisposition to certain joint or bone diseases.
Who should consider undergoing genetic testing for orthopedics & rheumatology?
Individuals with a family history of musculoskeletal disorders, autoimmune diseases, early-onset arthritis, or those experiencing unexplained joint pain or inflammation may consider genetic testing to assess their risk and inform medical management.
How can genetic testing benefit individuals in terms of orthopedics & rheumatology?
Genetic testing for orthopedics & rheumatology can benefit individuals by providing personalized insights into their genetic predispositions, identifying potential risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders or autoimmune conditions, and guiding early intervention or treatment strategies.
