Orthopedic
Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic physicians, or orthopedic surgeons, specialize in bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They address conditions ranging from fractures and arthritis to sports injuries and congenital disorders. Using diagnostic imaging and physical examinations, orthopedic experts develop treatment plans that may involve non-surgical interventions such as physical therapy or medications, as well as surgical procedures like joint replacement or fracture repair. Orthopedics plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, relieving pain, and improving the overall function of the musculoskeletal system for patients of all ages
