Orthopedic research is a branch of medical research that focuses on studying the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system, including the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic researchers aim to understand the causes of orthopedic conditions and injuries, develop new treatments and surgical techniques, and improve outcomes for patients through innovations in orthopedic devices and technologies. This field is essential for advancing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of orthopedic disorders such as arthritis, fractures, sports injuries, and degenerative diseases.
