A member asked:

Does anesthesia or medicines during orif surgery cause hyperthyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: Haven't heard of anesthesia for orthopedic procedures causing thyroid disorders. That means the relationship is likely coincidental. Thyroid disease is common, and one's primary care doctor can usually take care of it. If needed, an endocrinologist can help.
