Osteoporosis, Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Disorders

Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is a medical speciality that focuses on skeletal deformities, abnormalities of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin. The musculoskeletal system of your body is a complicated network of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves that allows you to move, work, and be active. Previously, it was dedicated to the treatment of children with abnormalities of the spine and limbs. Orthopaedics today treats patients of all ages, from new-borns with clubfeet to young sportsmen requiring arthroscopic surgery to elderly patients suffering from arthritis. Orthopaedic surgeons, often known as orthopaedists, are doctors who specialise in this specialty. Orthopaedics is a discipline of medicine that specialises on joint and bone disorders.
