Diagnosis

Orthopedic medicine encompasses the entire musculoskeletal system, and there are countless conditions for which patients seek orthopedic care.

Common orthopedic conditions treated at Platte County Memorial Hospital:

• Arthritic Conditions
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Congenital Deformities – conditions present at birth
• Degenerative Joint Conditions
• Fractures
• Hand and Foot Conditions
• Ligament Injuries

We use a number of diagnostic procedures and imaging technologies to identify and evaluate orthopedic conditions including:

• Arthrography – a radiographic examination of a joint
• Computed Tomography (CT)
• Facet Injections
• Joint Injections
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
