Ask a 'Cold Orthopedics Specialist' Online

There are two types of orthopedic surgeries, cold and trauma orthopedic surgery. Cold orthopedic surgery is used to treat non-traumatic bone conditions like arthritis, tumor, bone infection, etc. Unlike trauma orthopedic surgery, which has to be performed immediately after injury, a cold orthopedic surgery can be scheduled at the convenience of the patient and the surgeon. This gives a lot of time to conduct all the necessary health examinations before the procedure. The patient gets time to consider various treatment options and can try taking medicines or other therapies before he or she decides to get operated. Knee and hip replacement surgery are the most common example of cold orthopedic surgery.
