Orthopaedic surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. They often perform surgeries to repair injuries, correct deformities, or replace damaged joints, such as in hip or knee replacements. In addition to surgery, orthopaedic surgeons also provide non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and medication. They work with patients of all ages, from children with growth-related issues to older adults with arthritis. Their goal is to help patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
