Orthopedic Conditions
Orthopedic conditions refer to a range of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Common examples include arthritis, fractures, and tendinitis. These conditions can result from injuries, overuse, or degenerative changes, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Diagnosis of orthopedic conditions often involves physical examinations, imaging tests like X-rays or MRI, and sometimes laboratory tests. Treatment options vary and may include physical therapy, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the severity and type of condition. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for effective recovery.
