Orthopedic Disorders
Orthopedic disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common examples include fractures, arthritis, and tendonitis. These disorders can result from injuries, overuse, or degenerative changes, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Treatment for orthopedic disorders often involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, medication, and sometimes surgery. Healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these conditions to help patients regain function and improve their quality of life.
