Overview

Orthopaedics is a branch of medicine that deals with injuries, diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. It is a vital specialty that helps people to stay active and improve their quality of life. Orthopaedic surgeons diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of conditions, from sports injuries to fractures, arthritis, congenital disorders and spine disorders. Orthopaedic procedures such as joint replacements, ACL repairs, spinal fusion, and arthroscopy are used to restore mobility and minimize pain. Additionally, orthopaedic medicine can help prevent future injuries through physical therapy, braces and other therapies. The goal of orthopaedics is to improve mobility, reduce pain and maximize function.
