Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic surgery focuses on conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopaedic surgeons use surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors and congenital disorders. In particular, both the evaluation and the treatment of hand problems have become increasingly complex functions. Evaluation frequently requires an expert second opinion, and treatment might include such highly sophisticated procedures as micro-surgery, joint replacement or arthroscopic surgery.
