What is Orthopaedics?

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It deals with conditions such as fractures, arthritis, spinal disorders, and sports injuries. Orthopaedic specialists provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments to restore mobility and relieve pain.
