Orthopedics

Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Orthopedic doctors treat fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, spinal disorders, and congenital conditions. Common procedures include joint replacements, fracture repairs, and arthroscopic surgeries. Subspecialties include sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics, and spine surgery. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to minimally invasive and complex surgeries. Advances like robotic-assisted surgery and regenerative medicine improve outcomes. Orthopedics plays a vital role in restoring mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing the quality of life for patients of all ages.
