Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical repair of the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Orthopedic surgeons treat a wide range of conditions such as fractures, dislocations, torn ligaments, arthritis, and spinal deformities. They perform surgeries like joint replacements (e.g., hip or knee replacements), arthroscopic procedures to repair joint damage, and spinal surgeries to correct issues like herniated discs or scoliosis. Orthopedic surgery also involves the management of sports injuries, congenital disorders, and degenerative diseases. The goal of orthopedic surgery is to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve the quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal problems.
