EXPLAINING ORTHOPAEDICS
Orthopaedic medicine is a specialized branch of medicine
which includes surgical and non-surgical treatment
methodologies focusing
on the preservation and restoration of the
function of the skeletal system, its articulation and associated
structures.
The Orthopaedist treats not only acute bone trauma-associated
injuries, but also assists the patient with chronic or long-term
painful conditions of the skeletal system. The field includes the management
of patients of all ages and encompasses all joint, muscle, ligament
and tendon systems associated with the skeletal structure, and
diseases that affect bone.
Surgery is an integral part of the practice of Orthopaedics. Although it can be time-consuming, the pre-operative planning and
blood work (history and physical) is an essential part of your
operative care, and may include medical concerns that influence your
surgeon's ability to deliver excellent care. Such a "master plan"
will guide your surgeon, to ensure a successful, safe operation and
recovery.
