Orthopedics

Orthopedics is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation of disorders involving the musculoskeletal system — this includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves.

Orthopedic surgeons treat conditions that affect movement and stability, from sports injuries and fractures to degenerative joint disease and congenital skeletal abnormalities.
