AICA Orthopedics Accepts New Patients Every Day | AICA OrthopedicsMany times, auto accidents result in the need for a trip to an orthopedic specialist or even surgeon. When an injury is severe and involves the bones of the musculoskeletal system, the victim of the accident is taken to the Emergency room and evaluated by the orthopedic specialists on call.

Orthopedic specialists are also often consulted after patients have waited to seek help for their injuries or after attempts at physical therapy have failed. It is always best to find medical care following an accident since symptoms may not surface immediately, and initial tests can uncover underlying injuries.

Approach to Treatment

When treating the musculoskeletal system, orthopedic surgeons will attempt to heal injuries non-surgically before discussing surgical options. Orthopedic surgeons typically treat those patients who have suffered trauma to their musculoskeletal system, conditions that have caused degeneration, sports-related injuries, infections of the bones, tumors, and congenital disorders.
