What does an orthopaedic examination involve?
1. Taking a medical history
The examination begins with a detailed discussion of the patient’s symptoms. Our orthopaedic specialist will ask about the nature of the pain, how long it has been present, and any previous injuries or treatments.
2. Physical examination
At this stage, the movement, load-bearing capacity, and stability of the affected joint or body part are assessed and compared with the opposite side of the body as necessary.
3. Evaluation of imaging tests
To ensure an accurate diagnosis, an X-ray, ultrasound, or other imaging test may be required, and previously taken scans may be reviewed.
4. Establishing a diagnosis
Based on the examination results, our specialist will explain the diagnosis in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. At Mediversal, we place a strong emphasis on ensuring that patients understand what is causing their symptoms.
5. Determining a treatment plan
At the end of the examination, our orthopaedic specialist will review the possible treatment options and work with you to determine the next steps – whether that involves conservative therapy, injection treatment, or a surgical solution.
How should you prepare for an orthopaedic examination?
The aim of the orthopaedic consultation is to gain the most accurate picture possible of the background to your symptoms. With a little simple preparation, you can help make the consultation even more effective and ensure that the treatment plan is truly tailored to your individual condition.
Previous medical documents
It is highly recommended that you bring previous specialist opinions, surgical discharge summaries, outpatient records, and other relevant medical findings.
Imaging tests
If you have recent (no older than one year) X-ray, MRI, or CT scans, we suggest bringing the images with you – preferably in a digital format – as they often provide additional information beyond the written report.
List of medications
It is useful to make a list in advance of the medications you take regularly, along with their dosages, paying particular attention to painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Reviewing your symptoms:
It is worth considering how long the symptoms have been present, what triggers or relieves the pain, and whether you experience any stiffness, numbness, or restricted movement.
Clothing and questions
To facilitate the examination, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and writing down any questions you may have in advance, ensuring all important topics are covered during the consultation.
FAQ
Is a referral required for an orthopaedic examination?
No referral is required for our private practice; appointments can be booked in advance.
How long does an orthopaedic examination take?
The consultation typically lasts 15–20 minutes, depending on the nature of the complaint and the need for any additional tests.
Is a preliminary imaging test required?
Not necessarily. If required, the orthopaedic specialist will recommend an X-ray, ultrasound, or other imaging test.
Can the doctor access my previous medical records in the cloud (EESZT), or should I bring them with me?
Although the results of medical examinations in Hungary are available in the electronic health space (EESZT), a thorough analysis of the raw imaging data (MRI, CT, X-ray) is essential for an orthopaedic diagnosis, alongside the written medical report. As high-resolution images are not always uploaded to the central system, please bring your scans with you on a CD or USB flash drive to ensure the examination is carried out safely and efficiently. This is particularly important for our patients from abroad, whose medical documentation is not accessible via the Hungarian public health systems.
When might surgery be necessary?
Your doctor will usually recommend surgery if conservative treatments fail to produce satisfactory results and your symptoms significantly impair your quality of life.
Is robot-assisted surgery available at Mediversal?
Yes, certain hip and knee replacement surgeries are available at our institution using CORI robot-assisted technology.
