When should you consult an orthopedist-traumatologist?
- Joint pain – in the knees, shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists or ankles, especially if the pain recurs or worsens with movement.
- Limited mobility – difficulty fully bending or straightening a limb, raising an arm, squatting or performing everyday movements.
- Swelling, redness or increased warmth around a joint – symptoms that may occur after an injury or as a result of a joint condition.
- Clicking, cracking or joint instability during movement, particularly when accompanied by pain or a feeling that the joint is giving way.
- Consequences of falls, impacts and other injuries – bruises, sprains, suspected fractures, dislocations or ligament injuries.
- Pain after physical activity or sports – in the muscles, tendons, joints or spine that does not resolve with rest.
- Ligament, tendon or meniscus injuries – including those caused by sudden movements, twisting injuries or sports activities.
- Deformities or changes in the position of limbs or joints – whether they develop gradually or appear following an injury.
- Foot and gait problems – foot pain, deformities, discomfort while walking, altered weight distribution or excessive fatigue in the legs.
- Persistent back or musculoskeletal pain – particularly when it affects mobility, physical activity or quality of life.
Treatment and recovery
Injured ligaments, tendons or menisci can remain vulnerable even when a person can walk normally and no longer feels pain. That is why returning to sports or regular physical activity should be gradual: mobility and strength are restored first, followed by joint stability, and only then is the intensity of physical activity increased. If swelling, pain, instability, joint locking or limited movement returns during recovery, it is a sign that the load is being increased too soon and the condition should be reassessed.

Sports injuries
Sports injuries most commonly include ligament sprains and tears, meniscus injuries, dislocations, and injuries to the tendons and muscles. The knee, ankle, shoulder and elbow are particularly prone to injury. Overuse injuries are also common, including tendinopathies, repetitive microtrauma and joint pain that develops during regular training.With a knee, ankle or shoulder injury, it is important to determine the extent and type of damage before returning to sport. The absence of pain does not always mean complete recovery: after a ligament, meniscus or tendon injury, joint mobility, strength and stability need to be restored. An orthopedic traumatologist determines the appropriate diagnostic tests and a safe level of physical activity.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an orthopedic traumatologist and an orthopedist?
What is the difference between an orthopedic traumatologist and an orthopedist?
Orthopedics focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, while traumatology focuses on injuries and their consequences. A specialist trained in both fields can assess musculoskeletal problems from both perspectives.
Which doctor should I see for knee pain?
Knee pain can have many causes, from ligament and meniscus injuries to degenerative joint changes. An orthopedic traumatologist can assess the knee and determine which diagnostic tests and treatment approach are appropriate.
How long does recovery from an injury take?
Recovery time depends on the type and severity of the injury, its location, the treatment method and adherence to rehabilitation recommendations. Minor injuries may take several weeks to recover, while more complex injuries can require considerably more time.
What should I do if I have severe pain after a fall or impact?
Avoid putting weight or unnecessary stress on the injured area and seek medical assessment. Severe deformity, significant swelling, intense pain or an inability to move the limb requires urgent medical attention.
