Orthopedic surgery, sometimes known as orthopaedics, is the branch of surgery that deals with musculoskeletal problems. Orthopedic surgeons use both surgical and nonsurgical methods to treat musculoskeletal damage, spinal ailments, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, malignancies, and congenital issues.
Orthopedic surgery corrects problems that arise in the skeleton's ligaments, tendons, and connectors. Additionally, it might help with some nervous system problems, such as those brought on by spinal injury. These problems could arise as a result of birth, injury, or ageing. They could occur gradually over time, like many age-related problems, or suddenly, like an injury.
