About

    Orthopaedic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. This field of medicine deals with the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves of the body. Orthopaedic surgeons perform surgical procedures to repair, replace, or reconstruct damaged or degenerated musculoskeletal structures, such as joint replacement surgeries, fracture repairs, and spinal surgeries. They also provide non-surgical treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, and injections. Orthopaedic surgery plays a crucial role in helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life.
