2. Joint Problems:

Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), joint pain, stiffness, deformities.

3. Spine Disorders:

7. Orthopaedic Oncology:

Bone cancers and related conditions.

Common Orthopaedic Treatments:

1. Non-surgical:

Medications, physiotherapy, braces, joint injections.

2. Surgical:

Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery), joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), fracture fixation with plates/screws, spinal surgery, deformity correction.

Specialized Orthopaedic Surgeries:

• Knee Replacement – for severe arthritis.
• Hip Replacement – for advanced hip joint damage.
• Arthroscopy – minimally invasive joint surgery.
• Spinal Surgery – for slipped disc or deformities.
• Trauma Surgery – fracture fixation, bone reconstruction.

Goals of Orthopaedic:

• Restore mobility.
• Relieve pain.
• Correct deformities.
• Improve quality of life.
• Prevent disability through early treatment and rehabilitation.
