What is Orthopaedics?
This is a surgical specialty that deals with conditions of the musculoskeletal system (disorders of bones and joints of the limbs and spine). The specialty covers a range of different types of conditions starting with congenital (conditions which children are born with) through to degenerative (conditions relating to the wearing out of joints). The field of orthopaedics also covers trauma where bones are broken or injuries are sustained to limbs.
Other problems such as metabolic, neurological and inflammatory conditions that are associated with the musculoskeletal system can also be covered by the Orthopaedic Specialty
