Orthopaedics is a medical speciality that focuses on the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin.
These elements make up the musculoskeletal system. This complex system is integral to achieving a healthy life holistically, as it facilitates your movement, daily functioning and all the many movements required in your daily life. The physicians who specialise in this area are called orthopaedic surgeons.
