Randall J. Rogalsky, M.D.

Top Rated Orthopedic Surgeon in Alton, Illinois

Orthopedic surgeons are one of many types of doctors who perform surgery on patients with disorders and diseases related to the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints in the human body. In order to become an orthopedic surgeon, one must first complete a bachelor’s degree from a college or university followed by four years in medical school . After obtaining a medical degree, an applicant will spend five years in an internship and residency program where they learn more about treating common musculoskeletal problems such as joint pain and sports injuries. Once finished with their training, a doctor can choose to practice privately or teach at a medical school.

Orthopedic surgeons treat all sorts of conditions that affect and joints including arthritis , tendonitis, and fractures. In order to make a correct diagnosis, an orthopedic surgeon will normally conduct a physical exam followed by diagnostic testing such as X-rays, MRI’s, CT scans, and blood work. Depending on the severity of injury or condition, doctors may recommend surgery to help alleviate symptoms. Some common surgery procedures include rotator cuff surgery, meniscus repair surgery, extractions of teeth that have been impacted into the bone, discectomy surgery for pinched nerve symptoms, and spinal fusions.

Obviously as patients we want to choose the best doctor out there so researching orthopedic surgeons is important before making an appointment with one. Studies show that communication skills are very important when it comes to choosing a surgeon so asking them questions about surgery and treatment plans is ideal. In addition to asking the surgeon for suggestions, get a list of referrals from them or your primary care physician. It’s also important to choose a doctor that has experience with the specific procedure you need. A good orthopedic surgeon will be able to answer all of your questions and provide you with information on what type of recovery time you can expect after surgery.

About Dr. Rogalsky

Board certified in Orthopedic Surgery, Dr. Rogalsky received his medical education at the University of Manitoba in Canada. He served a five-year residency in orthopedic surgery at The Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg. Dr. Rogalsky has extensive experience in sports medicine, knee and hip reconstructive surgery, spinal surgery and pediatric orthopedic problems.

When it comes to advances in medical science, Orthopedic Surgery takes center stage. The technological advances of arthroscopic and microscopic surgical procedures make it possible to reconstruct and rehabilitate patients with increasing success that was undreamed of years ago.

Orthopedics is the medical specialty that deals with diseases or injury involving muscles, bones and joints. Treatment of problems of the skeleton and muscles ranges from splints and casts to surgery.

A few of the common problems patients bring to orthopedic surgeons are injuries such as broken bones, torn ligaments and strained muscles. Treatment for such injuries might include the use of a cast or, occasionally, surgery to repair the damage.

Joint problems caused by degeneration or arthritis can often be relieved by total knee or hip joint replacement. Sports injuries like a torn cartilage, or ligament injuries around the knee are usually successfully managed using arthroscopic surgical techniques. Foot problems, also, can be very disabling, and a combination of shoe modification and/or surgery can offer considerable benefits.

However, surgery only sets the stage for a good outcome. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are often necessary to obtain maximum benefit and recovery from an injury or surgical procedure.

An informed patient is a more satisfied patient.

Your orthopedic surgeon must first understand you and how your condition affects your life in terms of work, family and recreation. Only then can he provide you with the best options of treatment to achieve the maximum result. The more informed you are, the better able you will be to participate in your progress, so we encourage your questions.
