For orthopaedic practices we rank Facebook number 2 of the platforms worth your time, and we would run it at 3 posts a week Having it managed for you starts at PKR 15,000 a month.
Why does Facebook work for this trade?
The over-50 patient and the son or daughter arranging the operation are both here, and recovery posts get shared inside families.
Who you are reaching here
Men 30 to 55 with back and knee pain, mothers over 50 whose children are searching on their behalf, motorbike riders after a Murree Road accident, and club cricketers with shoulders that will not lift.
What holds this trade back
Patients spend a year with a bone-setter and free exercise videos before they will even consider surgery.
What does Facebook want from a orthopaedic surgeon account?
Your themes stay the same everywhere; what changes is the shape they take here. 3 posts a week — and each of these translates into a different kind of Facebook post.
- 01
Knee pain, from the beginning
Four stages of knee arthritis on x-ray, explained to a family rather than a colleague
- 02
The back pain this country lives with
Three kinds of back pain: which needs an MRI and which needs a walk
- 03
Bone-setter versus surgeon
A fracture that healed crooked, and what fixing it now involves
- 04
Injuries you can predict
Tape, brace or nothing: an ankle twist on the cricket ground
How does Facebook decide who sees a post?
The main feed is now mostly recommended Reels and video, the same as everywhere else — but in Pakistan the intent still lives in Groups and Marketplace, and those run on their own rules. Comments and shares count for far more than reactions, and a post that starts a real argument in the comments travels furthest. Paid reach is genuinely cheap here, and the blue Boost button wastes money: a proper campaign built in Ads Manager costs a fraction per enquiry.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

If you would rather not do the above yourself, this is exactly what we take off you. Managed Facebook for orthopaedic practices starts at PKR 35,000 a month.
- 01Re-cut the vertical videos we already made for TikTok and Instagram into Facebook Reels under 90 seconds, with captions written for an older reader
- 02Post three times a week on the page with the price, the area and the WhatsApp number visible in the post itself
- 03Post into the local buy-and-sell and community groups your customers already sit in, at a pace that does not get you removed for spam
- 04Keep the About section, hours, service area and cover photo matching your Google Business Profile exactly
- 05Build and watch Meta ad campaigns daily in Ads Manager instead of using Boost, and show you the cost per enquiry every week
- 06Answer page messages and comments, and move Marketplace enquiries into a WhatsApp conversation
- 07Create and refresh Marketplace listings with daylight photos and honest prices so they keep surfacing
- 08Report monthly on reach, cost per enquiry and exactly which post brought the phone calls
Should orthopaedic practices be anywhere else?
Facebook first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube | #1 | 3 videos a month, 8 to 15 minutes, chaptered | A knee replacement is a PKR 600,000 family decision made after weeks of watching, and long-form is the only place that trust gets built. |
| TikTok | #3 | 3 videos a week | Injury explainers reach riders, cricketers and shopkeepers who would never search for an orthopaedic surgeon on their own. |
| #4 | 2 to 3 Reels a week | Sports injuries and post-op progress videos land well with the younger gym-going patients who pay privately for arthroscopy. |

Facebook questions from orthopaedic practices
Is Facebook actually worth it for orthopaedic practices?
The over-50 patient and the son or daughter arranging the operation are both here, and recovery posts get shared inside families. We would rank it number 2 of the platforms worth your time in this trade, and run it at 3 posts a week.
How often should a orthopaedic surgeon business post on Facebook?
3 posts a week. That figure is set by what this trade can sustain, not by what the platform would like. Posting three times a week for a year beats posting daily for a month and then stopping.
Should orthopaedic practices be on Facebook before anything else?
No. YouTube comes first for orthopaedic practices — Facebook is number 2 here. It is worth adding once the first platform is steady, for the reason above.
What is the first thing a orthopaedic surgeon account gets wrong on Facebook?
Posting about the business instead of about the customer's problem. Patients spend a year with a bone-setter and free exercise videos before they will even consider surgery. That is what your Facebook posts should be answering, in 3 posts a week
What does it cost to have someone run my Facebook account?
From PKR 15,000 a month with us. For orthopaedic practices we usually recommend Growth at PKR 35,000. This niche converts on long-form. Growth's four edited videos a month, titled and chaptered properly, build the library a family works through before agreeing to a PKR 600,000 operation.
