Please answer! what kind of special tests orthopedist may ask you to make, if any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It really depends: ... On what your problem is. Orthopedists deal with bone and joint problems. To diagnose and treat them, they often obtain imaging studies. Most commonly, these studies are plain x-ray films. Advanced imaging studies, such as MRI scans, may also be obtained.
