ORTHOPAEDIC
Orthopaedics 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, back pain, sports injuries, joint degeneration, and congenital skeletal problems. Orthopaedic specialists use diagnostic tools like X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and bone density tests.
The field aims to restore mobility, relieve pain, improve physical function, and help patients maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.
Orthopaedic problems affect bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Common symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced movement, back or neck pain, muscle weakness, and difficulty in walking or performing daily activities. Patients may also experience deformities, numbness, tingling, or pain after injury or fracture.
Diagnosis involves a detailed medical history and physical examination. Doctors use investigations such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans, bone density tests, and blood tests to identify fractures, arthritis, spinal disorders, sports injuries, infections, or degenerative bone and joint conditions.
