Frequently asked questions
When should I see an orthopedist?
Seek an evaluation if pain lasts more than a few weeks, started after a fall or trauma, comes with swelling, deformity, locking or painful clicking, or interferes with sleep, work or sports. Severe pain after trauma should be assessed as soon as possible.
What is the difference between an orthopedist and a traumatologist?
In Brazil the specialty is a single one: Orthopedics and Traumatology. The orthopedist treats diseases and injuries of bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and traumatology focuses on injuries caused by trauma, such as fractures.

In Ipanema (R. Visconde de Pirajá, 414, room 310) and in Largo do Machado (Largo do Machado, 21, room 615, Flamengo), in Rio de Janeiro.

Should I bring my tests?
