A medical specialty focused on the musculoskeletal system, encompassing bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic practitioners, known as orthopedic surgeons or orthopedists, diagnose, treat, and prevent conditions and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system. Common orthopedic issues include fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, and deformities. Treatment modalities range from non-surgical interventions, such as physical therapy, to surgical procedures like joint replacement or fracture repair. Orthopedics plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, alleviating pain, and improving the overall quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Advances in technology and surgical techniques continually enhance the field's ability to provide effective and personalized care.
