Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of issues related to the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Orthopedic doctors, known as orthopedic surgeons, help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve mobility through various treatments, including surgery, physical therapy, and medication. Common orthopedic problems include fractures, arthritis, and sports injuries. Patients of all ages, from children to seniors, may seek orthopedic care. By addressing these issues, orthopedic specialists aim to enhance quality of life and restore function, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
