Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery deals with musculoskeletal issues, using both surgical and nonsurgical approaches. Orthopedic surgeons treat a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal trauma and spinal problems to sports injuries, degenerative diseases, and congenital disorders.
These conditions affect people of all ages, causing pain and limitations. Orthopedic surgeons play a crucial role in improving patients' quality of life, whether it's a child with scoliosis or an adult needing limb-saving surgery after a severe injury.
Their expertise lies in preventing, diagnosing, and treating bone, joint, ligament, tendon, and muscle issues. Orthopedic surgeons often specialize in specific anatomical areas or surgical techniques, focusing on providing specialized care.
