The second opinion in orthopedics

What is a "Second Opinion"

"Second Opinion in Orthopedics" is a face—to-face medical consultation of patients suffering from diseases requiring elective surgery in order to obtain a second opinion from an EMC specialist on the disease and its treatment tactics. 

Getting a "second opinion" is a standard practice in the USA and in Europe. Before agreeing to surgery, the patient has the right to collect the opinions of various doctors and weigh the pros and cons.

  • 1,120 patients have already applied to EMC surgeons.
  • In 45% of cases, surgical treatment was avoided.

Diseases

You can seek advice from EMC specialists if you are prescribed surgical treatment for diseases such as:

  • Degenerative diseases of large joints (arthritis, osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder joint)
  • Consequences of injuries (knee, ankle, shoulder joints)
  • Damage to bones of the skeleton (limbs) and joints, false joints, non-joints, correction of deformities
  • Consequences of injuries and deformities of limbs in children
  • >Reconstructive surgery and endoprosthetics in patients with post-traumatic changes of the hip, knee, ankle, elbow and shoulder joints

Directions for getting a second opinion in pediatric Orthopedics: 

  • Congenital joint diseases
  • Consequences of injuries (false joints, post-traumatic deformities)
  • Reconstructive surgery in patients with post-traumatic joint changes

Terms of service

If possible, please provide the following medical documents:

    A medical report, including a diagnosis and recommendations for surgical treatment, from the medical organization that established the presence of the disease.
  • the results of diagnostic studies, including laboratory tests, X-ray data, transcripts (recording on disk) of CT, PET/CT scan and so on.
