Orthopaedics
is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, treatment,
rehabilitation and prevention of injuries and diseases
of your body's musculoskeletal system. This complex
system includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons,
muscles and nerves and allows you to move, work and
be active.
Once devoted to the care of children with spine and
limb deformities, orthopaedics now cares for patients
of all ages, from newborns with clubfeet to young athletes
requiring arthroscopic surgery to older people with
arthritis. And anybody can break a bone. |
