Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Orthopedic surgeons are highly trained doctors who specialize in the care of bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other components of the musculoskeletal system. They treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, spinal disorders, and congenital deformities. Orthopedic procedures may involve surgeries like joint replacements, spinal fusion, and repair of torn ligaments. Additionally, orthopedic physicians often work in collaboration with physical therapists and other healthcare professionals to facilitate rehabilitation and improve patients' mobility and overall quality of life.
