Orthopedics
The musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and nerves. Orthopedics is a surgical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and management of the musculoskeletal system. Depending on the symptoms experienced, certain conditions can be treated non-surgically (with medication, infiltrations, rehabilitation, etc.). Both the lower limbs (hip, knee and foot) and the upper limbs (shoulder, elbow and hand) can be treated.
