Orthopedics (or orthopaedics) is the medical specialty concerned with diagnosing and treating conditions of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Orthopedic surgeons and physicians treat injuries like fractures and torn ligaments, degenerative conditions like arthritis, and perform procedures ranging from joint replacements to sports medicine surgery. The field combines surgical and non-surgical approaches, often working alongside physical therapists to restore mobility and function.
