ORTHOPEDICS
Orthopedics is a specialty of medicine, which specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and

rehabilitation for injuries and diseases in the musculoskeletal system.
This system is complex, because it includes
joints, ligaments, tendons, nerves and also the
muscles that allow normal mobility for people
to be active in daily activities. In times past,
orthopedics was dedicated especially to the
care of children suffering from deformities in
the spine or limbs, orthopedics today is
dedicated to people of all ages, from newborns
with the famous clubfoot, to young athletes
who are in need of arthroscopic surgery and
also the elderly with arthritis. Any human
being has the possibility of breaking any of his
bones.
An orthopedic doctor is in charge of problems that directly affect the musculoskeletal
system. This doctor is specialized in: The diagnosis of injuries or disorders, drug
treatments, surgeries or any other type of these.
He also specializes in rehabilitation by recommending physical exercises or therapies to
restore normal mobility, joint strength and full function to the affected area. They also
focus on prevention, providing information or treatment plans that can prevent injuries and
slow the progression of disease. Most of these specialists are dedicated to general practices,
others may specialize directly in the feet, hands, shoulders, spine, hip or pediatrics, some
are specialists in different disciplines.
The orthopedic surgeon is the doctor who must have a broad ability to diagnose and treat
present injuries and diseases in the muscles and bones (musculoskeletal system). This
specialist studies six years in medical school, one more year in the partner service. (Dr.
Esteban Castro, Jul 11, 2019).
Orthopedics is a specialty that works by treating different anomalies of our body with
respect to its muscles or bones, as mentioned above, thus seeking to improve the patient's
discomfort. When a person begins to have muscle pain and especially back pain, they
should immediately go to the orthopedist.
In addition to being a general specialty of the musculoskeletal system, it is also related to

different specialties of medicine, one of the main ones is traumatology, which is the
medical specialty that is dedicated to the treatment of traumatic injuries of the bones,
muscles, joints and tendons. These injuries can be congenital or acquired throughout life. If
the injury presented by the patient requires an operation, the trauma doctor will be in charge
of carrying out the surgical procedure.
Orthopedics is related to other areas such as: neurology, angiology, psychiatry,
physiotherapy, primary care medicine, among others. So other doctors who may be part of
the orthopedic team include:
1. Neurologists.
2. Pain specialists.
3. Primary care physicians.
4. Psychiatrists.
5. Specialists in sports medic.
Orthopedics is important because it is responsible for maintaining the proper functioning of

the musculoskeletal system, which is an organ system that includes bones, joints, muscles,
tendons, ligaments and cartilage that provide support for the body and allow movement. So
when it fails, either due to injury or illness, orthopedic doctors help patients to recover the
functioning of this
system.
