Orthopedics is a medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. Orthopedic surgeons perform surgical procedures to correct musculoskeletal problems, such as joint replacements, spinal surgery, and fractures. They also work with patients to manage conditions through non-surgical methods, such as physical therapy, rehabilitation, and pain management.
