Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

An orthopedic doctor treats a wide range of conditions such as fractures, joint pain, arthritis, and sports injuries. Orthopedic surgeons can perform both minor procedures, like treating small fractures, and major surgeries, such as knee or hip replacement.

Orthopedic care helps reduce pain, improve movement, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients suffering from bone and joint problems.
