Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities – disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin. These elements make up the musculoskeletal system.

Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues.

Orthopaedic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in the field of orthopaedics. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, such as fractures, disSatellite Centers, sprains, strains, arthritis, sports injuries, spine disorders, and congenital deformities. They may also perform surgical procedures, including joint replacements, spinal surgeries, and fracture repairs.

Orthopaedic treatment approaches can vary depending on the specific condition and its severity. Non-surgical treatments may include physical therapy, medications, braces, casts, and other conservative measures. When conservative measures are not sufficient or the condition is severe, surgery may be recommended to correct the issue or alleviate pain and improve function.

Orthopaedics also involves research and advancements in the field, such as the development of new surgical techniques, implants, and rehabilitation methods. Orthopaedic surgeons often work closely with other healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and pain management specialists, to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
