What Is Orthopedics and Traumatology?
Orthopedics and traumatology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal system disorders involving bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopedics deals with congenital deformities, joint diseases, and bone disorders, while traumatology focuses on fractures, dislocations, and sports injuries caused by trauma.
