ortopédica

Ortopédica is a term that refers to the branch of medicine concerned with the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. The primary goal of orthopedics is to diagnose and treat conditions affecting this system, whether they are congenital, acquired, or the result of trauma.

Orthopedic surgeons specialize in the care of the musculoskeletal system. They treat a wide range of conditions, from simple sprains and fractures to more complex issues like arthritis, scoliosis, and sports injuries. Treatment methods can include non-surgical approaches such as medication, physical therapy, and braces, as well as surgical interventions like joint replacement, arthroscopy, and spinal fusion. The field of orthopedics is constantly evolving with new technologies and techniques aimed at improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
