Frequently Asked Questions

How effective is an online orthopaedic consultation compared to an in-person visit?+
For assessment, follow-ups, conservative management and guidance, online consultations are highly effective. An in-person visit is recommended when a physical examination or a procedure is essential.
Can the doctor review my X-ray, MRI or scan reports online?+
Yes. You can securely upload your X-rays, MRI or CT scans and previous reports before the consultation, so the orthopaedic doctor can review them and give accurate, personalised advice.
Will I get a valid prescription after the online consultation?+
Yes. A valid digital prescription can be issued where clinically appropriate and used at any pharmacy, in line with telemedicine guidelines.
What should I prepare before the video call?+
Have your previous reports, scan images such as X-ray and MRI, your current medication list and a quiet, well-lit space ready. You may be asked to show the affected area.
How long does a typical consultation last?+
Initial consultations usually take 20 to 30 minutes, while follow-up sessions are around 15 minutes, allowing enough time for a proper discussion.
Is online orthopaedic consultation effective for knee, back or joint pain?+
Yes. Online consultations are very effective for evaluating knee pain, back and neck pain, shoulder and hip pain, arthritis and sports injuries, and for report review and follow-up. An in-person visit is advised only when a physical examination or procedure is essential.
Can I get a second opinion before orthopaedic surgery online?+
Yes. You can use an online consultation to get an independent orthopaedic second opinion before surgery, so you can confirm the diagnosis and understand surgical and non-surgical options before deciding.
Can online consultations help with post-surgery recovery?+
Yes. They are excellent for monitoring healing, modifying rehabilitation exercises and addressing any concerns during recovery.
Are online consultations suitable for arthritis management?+
Very much so. Our doctors provide ongoing support with medication, lifestyle changes and pain-relief strategies tailored to your daily life.
When is an in-person visit or surgery needed?+
Most orthopaedic concerns start with conservative, non-surgical care. The doctor will recommend an in-clinic visit or surgery only when your condition needs a hands-on examination, a procedure or an operation, and will help you schedule it at Unittas Hospital.
Can children and teenagers consult for orthopaedic issues online?+
Yes. Our specialists are experienced in paediatric orthopaedics and make consultations comfortable for younger patients with parental involvement.
Is this service helpful for sports injuries?+
Definitely. We provide guidance on conservative management, rehabilitation timelines and a safe return to activity.
