Orthopaedics is the medical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of diseases and injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments.
This specialty manages conditions that affect mobility, posture and physical function, with the goal of relieving symptoms, restoring movement and improving quality of life.
