Orthopaedics (or orthopedics) is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities – disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. These conditions can arise from trauma, degenerative diseases, infections, congenital disorders, and sports injuries.

Orthopaedic doctors (orthopaedists) or surgeons often perform surgeries to correct issues, such as:

• Fracture repairs: Fixing broken bones.
• Joint replacements: Replacing damaged joints with artificial ones (common in hips and knees).
• Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive surgery used to diagnose and treat joint problems.
• Spinal surgery: Correcting deformities or relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

They also recommend physical therapy and other nonsurgical methods to aid in recovery and improve mobility.
