Orthopedic Procedures
Orthopedic procedures are medical treatments focused on diagnosing and correcting issues related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, to more complex surgeries like joint replacements. They aim to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility.
Common orthopedic procedures include knee arthroscopy, hip replacement, and fracture repair. These interventions are often performed by orthopedic surgeons, who specialize in treating injuries and conditions affecting the body's structure. Rehabilitation and physical therapy usually follow these procedures to aid recovery and enhance strength.
