Orthopedists in Panama

Citing its meaning we can say that it is “the doctor specialized in orthopedics”. However, we consider that this description falls short; since orthopedists have a work as outstanding as it is extensive, which constantly demands a lot of expertise and professional quality.

The study and knowledge acquired by this specialist allow him to take care of all the problems that are related to the human locomotor system through its different subspecialties: hip, knee, spine, shoulders, arms, elbows, hands, wrists, feet and ankles.

Orthopedic doctors fulfill the function of evaluating, diagnosing and treating (with therapies, alternative methods or surgeries) people who suffer from congenital/degenerative problems, trauma, injuries or postural damage. In addition, they play a prominent role in supporting and monitoring the patient’s evolution in their rehabilitation process.

At COPAC, we have created a space where each patient can receive priority, friendly and empathetic care, where health is the only priority; For this reason, we are established in a central area, with easy access and convenient parking.

The facilities of our Orthopedic Center are located in tower B of The Panama Clinic building in Punta Pacifica, specifically on the 23rd floor, office 2315 Here we are waiting for you to serve you with the professionalism you deserve!

Traumatology and orthopedics are areas of medicine that are closely related to each other; That is why this type of doubt is very common about them.

So, how do I differentiate them? Easy! An orthopedic surgeon treats muscle and bone injuries resulting from a traumatic or impact event (fractures, fibrillar tears, etc.). On the other hand, orthopedists correct internal malformations that affect the functionality of the musculoskeletal system; however, they are also empowered to treat, intervene and repair bone, muscle and cartilage breaks.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation is an essential specialty for the recovery process of a patient who is going through a physical disability due to accident or illness.

Although in our center we do not have areas for rehabilitation; Within the comprehensive medical approach we offer, we include different medical guidelines that can help you in your physiotherapy rehabilitation stage.
