Orthopedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Orthopedic care addresses conditions ranging from acute injuries like fractures to chronic diseases such as arthritis, helping patients restore mobility and improve quality of life.

• Medication management (anti-inflammatories, pain relievers)
• Corticosteroid injections
• Bracing and casting
• Lifestyle modifications and weight management

Surgical Interventions:

• Joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder)
• Arthroscopic surgery for minimally invasive repair
• Fracture repair and internal fixation
