Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders and injuries related to the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopedic surgeons and specialists address a wide range of conditions, such as fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, spinal deformities, and degenerative diseases. They use both surgical and non-surgical methods, including physical therapy, medications, joint replacements, and minimally invasive procedures, to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve patients' quality of life. Advances in orthopedic technology, such as robotic-assisted surgery and regenerative medicine, continue to enhance treatment outcomes for patients of all ages.
