Orthopaedic Consultation in T. Nagar, Chennai

A good orthopaedic consultation is mostly listening and examining. Imaging confirms or refutes what the examination already suggested; it rarely produces the diagnosis on its own. A consultation that begins with a scan and works backwards tends to treat the picture rather than the patient.

Consultations at the T. Nagar clinic run Monday to Saturday, morning and evening, with walk-ins accepted throughout. Digital X-ray is available on site, so in most cases you leave with a diagnosis and a written plan rather than a list of tests and another appointment.

Second opinions are welcome, including on surgery that has already been recommended elsewhere. Bring your imaging and reports. Being told that surgery is not yet necessary is a legitimate and common outcome of a second opinion here.

When to book a consultation

• Joint pain lasting more than two to three weeks

• Pain that wakes you at night or is present at rest
• Reduced walking distance or new difficulty with stairs
