Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopaedic doctors, or orthopaedists, manage a wide range of conditions such as fractures, arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, and congenital musculoskeletal disorders. They use both surgical and non-surgical methods to restore function and relieve pain, often employing techniques like joint replacement, arthroscopy, and physical rehabilitation. Orthopaedics plays a crucial role in helping individuals of all ages maintain mobility, recover from injuries, and improve their overall quality of life by ensuring the proper function and strength of the body’s structural system.
