Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic Surgery (often referred to as Orthopedics) is the branch of surgery focusing on the musculoskeletal system. Orthopaedic surgeons diagnose, treat, and manage conditions involving bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Common procedures include repairing fractures, replacing joints, and treating sports-related injuries.
Subspecialties range from pediatric orthopaedics to spine surgery and arthroscopy. Technological advances, such as minimally invasive techniques and robotic-assisted surgeries, have improved patient outcomes and reduced recovery times.
