Which doctor should one go to for ligament stretching?

If there is a suspicion of ligament stretching, the patient should first consult his or her family doctor. He can already carry out the first treatment and find out by means of simple examination techniques whether the cause of the complaints is more likely to be a stretched ligament or even a fracture. Another advantage is the usually short waiting time for an appointment.

If the cause of the complaints is unclear or further diagnostic procedures are necessary, an orthopaedist and/or trauma surgeon should be consulted. He will carry out further treatment and usually also perform imaging by means of MRI. Since the waiting time for orthopaedic surgeons can be very long, it is often necessary to fall back on orthopaedic trauma surgery treatment in the outpatient department of the hospital.
