One of its most outstanding units is the Orthopedics and Traumatology Center, which focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of pathologies and conditions related to traumatology and orthopedics.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicoabc.com\/en\/orthopedics-and-traumatology-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">orthopedics and traumatology clinic<\/a> was created to aid those people whose mobility was affected by musculoskeletal injuries or some other disorder. Therefore, it is appropriate to define this discipline.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between traumatology and orthopedics?<\/h2>\n<p>Traumatology treats traumatic injuries to the bones, muscles, joints, and tendons. These discomforts can be congenital or acquired throughout life due to different situations to which anyone is exposed.<\/p>\n<p>Orthopedics is developed and practiced together with traumatology to correct or prevent deformations or traumas of the musculoskeletal system.<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the point in common between both is that they focus on traumatic injuries, such as the alteration of the function of the limbs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicoabc.com\/en\/neurological-center\/spine-clinic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spine<\/a>, such as bones and muscles. But, it also studies degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, which are bone malformations, and tumor lesions such as bone cancer.<\/p>\n<h2>The most frequent diseases in traumatology<\/h2>\n<p>There can be traumatic pathology cases in a traumatology and orthopedics hospital that must be attended to by professionals. Among them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fractures:<\/strong> are characterized by a break in the bone, trauma, or physical damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain in the knees or the back:<\/strong> this occurs due to overexertion at work or in sports and is reflected in low back pain or muscle pain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Osteoporosis:<\/strong> it is a degenerative disease that is manifested by the decrease of calcium in the bones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orthopedic alterations:<\/strong> they are known as flat feet or malformations of the spine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joint pain:<\/strong> they are identified by cartilage wear due to aging or due to high-impact activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When to see a traumatologist?<\/h2>\n<p>It is recommended that a person see a <a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicoabc.com\/en\/find-your-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traumatologist<\/a> when they have pain in the bones, either in the joints or in the muscles.<\/p>\n<p>The origin of these discomforts may be due to trauma, overuse, or spontaneous pain. In any case, it is important to have a specialist\u2019s opinion to take the necessary measures to achieve improvement.<\/p>\n<h2>Tests for trauma diagnosis<\/h2>\n<p>These are some of the tests that will lead to the proper diagnosis of your condition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>X-rays and CT scans:<\/strong> these are tests that detect or rule out traumatic or degenerative bone lesions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>MRI and ultrasound:<\/strong> they are auxiliary tests that observe in detail muscles and ligament lesions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bone densitometry:<\/strong> it is a medical examination indicated to detect the loss of calcium in the bones and osteoporosis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electromyography:<\/strong> it is a test used to detect nerve damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Are there differences between a traumatologist and a rheumatologist?<\/h2>\n<p>It is normal for patients to tend to confuse these terms.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, the traumatologist is the one who treats traumatic injuries and surgical processes. While the rheumatologist specializes in non-surgical treatments such as controlling degenerative and chronic lesions in the joints, muscles, and tendons. It also treats pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n<p>At the ABC Medical Center\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/centromedicoabc.com\/en\/orthopedics-and-traumatology-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orthopedics and Traumatology Center<\/a>, we can provide you with specialized care.
